Damian Thompson highly evocative, brilliant and comprehensive account of apocalyptic belief was a phenomenal critical success upon hardback publication. It brings together the massacre at Waco, the Solar Temple suicides, the Japanese subway gas attack, UFOs, angelic visitors and other apparently unrelated phenomena and places them in the context of the dawning of a new world at the time of the millennium. This is the revised, updated edition in which Damian Thompson tackles subjects such as the millennium dome and the millennium bug; rejacketed by Vintage for the lead-up to the year 2, 000.
On the eve of the year 2000 the world is experiencing a disturbing resurgence of apocalyptic belief. From Surbiton to Seoul, millions of evangelical Christians are waiting for Armageddon. Apparitions of the Virgin Mary are prophesying the end of an era. New Agers are experiencing visions of 'earth changes' in which whole continents are swallowed up by the ocean. This fully updated edition of Damian Thompson' s highly acclaimed book ranges from Doomsday cults to the Millenium Dome, from the mysterious Terrors of the Year 1000 to the growing panic over the Y2K computer crisis.
If you only read one book about the millenium, this should be it.
