"Messiahs and naughty men"

Michael Burleigh, a historian best known for his work on Nazi Germany, has a new book out called 'Sacred Causes: Religion and Politics from the European Dictators to al Qa'eda'. As I’m sure you appreciate, while this does involve European history (the dictators of the title) is strays too off topic for me to review here. Instead, try this review from Britain’s Telegraph newspaper.
