Review
"Essential reading for all citizens in a free society to learn how even here it is possible to persuade people to give up their freedom and harm themselves and their children."
Product Description
Cults today are bigger than ever, with broad ramifications for national and international terrorism. In this newly revised edition of her definitive work on cults, Singer reveals what cults really are and how they work, focusing specifically on the coercive persuasion techniques of charismatic leaders seeking money and power. The book contains fascinating updates on Heaven′s Gate, Falun Gong, Aum Shinrikyo, Hare Krishna, the Reverend Sun Myung Moon, and the connection between cults and terrorism in Al Queda and the PLO.

"Cults in Our Midst" tells in detail how cults recruit members, manipulate current members, and strong-arm those who want to leave into staying. Cult tactics and practices are revealed. A very informative and fascinating study.

As someone affected by the cult problem, I can say that Singer's book is accurate and necessary for anyone affected by cults, or who wants to learn to protect themselves from cults.

Format:Paperback
At the beginning of the text the writer makes a confession. She has edited out virtually all the references to actual cults or cult leader in order to avoid lawsuits. While I sympathise with her fear, the result is a book without substance - it is a bit like writing a history of WW2 without reference to leaders or countries.
