Rational Extremism: The Political Economy of Radicalism
Wintrobe, Ronald (University of Western Ontario)
The starting point of this 2006 book is that the best way to understand extremists is to assume they are rational. The treatment explains why extremist leaders often advocate violence, and how they motivate their followers to die for the cause. The arguments are illustrated with important episodes of extremism.
