The Martyrs: A Study In Social Control is a scholarly work by Donald W. Riddle that explores the phenomenon of martyrdom throughout history and across cultures. The book examines the ways in which societies use martyrdom as a means of social control, often promoting it as a heroic and virtuous act, while also manipulating and exploiting the martyr for political or religious gain. Riddle draws on a range of historical and contemporary examples, including Christian martyrs, Islamic suicide bombers, and political dissidents, to illustrate the complex and often contradictory nature of martyrdom. The book offers a nuanced and thought-provoking analysis of this controversial and emotive subject, shedding light on the ways in which martyrdom has been used to shape social and political structures, and the enduring appeal of martyrdom as a symbol of resistance and sacrifice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
