Book Reviews of Religious Violence in Contemporary Japan: The Case of Aum Shinrikyo
Book Review: Engaging Work
Summary: 4 Stars
I read this book for a college class. The book provides an interesting and unbiased account of the Aum Shinrikyo "cult" who attacked the tokoyo subway with serin gas. The account of the group's history is complete, and the book provides suggestions as to the motives of the group and its leader. Reader puts a lot of research into this book, including interviews with members and former members, and I would recomend this book to anyone interesting in the case or religious violence in general
