Title: Nothing New Here but Assertions
Review: This book has many disconnected thoughts and ideas about "mass movements" but nothing really sticks. He never seems to have compelling arguments for his generalizations. a book on modern social psychology has much better explanations for his concept of "mass movements". He spends a lot of time dividing people into categories and classifications. If some of his generalizations don't fit some of his examples, he simply dismisses them. The last paragraph of the book, the capstone you might call it, blew me away. What is he saying? The jews, and later the christians, invented 'this malady of the soul' called fanatacism? I don't know what to think or say. Here we go again with "the jews started it."
