Descripción

8vo. Hardcover in mylar protected dust jacket. "Lacey Baldwin Smith takes us on a riveting journey through history as he examines one of the most baffling characteristics of the human species: its willingness to die to sanctify a deity, to defend a cause, or simply to prove a point. In telling the stories of his chosen martyrs, by delving into their psyches, politics, and remarkable personalities, he illuminates the complex and elusive subject of martyrdom as it has evolved over two and a half millennia." Among the fools, martyrs, and traitors studied: Socrates, Jesus, Thomas Becket, Thomas More, John Brown (and the "Secret Six"), Mahatma Gandhi, Dietrich Bonhoeffer
