For the scientist, politician, clergy or parent, it is valuable and wonderfully readable. - Kurt Vonnegut SNAPPING is by far the best and most scientific treatment of the cult problem yet published. - New Society SNAPPING is an exciting and responsible and original piece of research that has taught this old poop amazing new ways to think about the human mind. - People There is no doubt that Conway and Siegelman are opening the door on areas of human understanding that have never been examined and that are in urgent need of study. - Cleveland Jewish News For anyone threatened with snapping, this book is a dispassionate, valuable study of an often frightening phenomenon.
If we do nothing to understand and ultimately reverse that pattern, it will pull more and more innocent people into its vortex.
The escalating pattern of cult fanaticism and religious-political terror that the authors call a \'death spiral\' seems to be widening. . . .
SNAPPING is not only fascinating and frightening reading, it is also extremely well-written. . . . - Albuquerque Journal In a prophetic vein.
What George Orwell\'s \'Animal Farm\' is to literature, \'SNAPPING\' is to non-fiction.
At its core, it is language that holds the key to our mental health or to our destruction. . . . this book provides a tool to exercise judgment, monitor incoming information, and interpret what has become an increasingly intrusive battle for our minds. . . . - Minneapolis Star-Tribune Important.
The second edition of SNAPPING is as important a resource in understanding spreading societal chaos as the first edition was in explaining the chaos of cults. . . - United Press International Credible and chilling . - New York Post What Woodward and Bernstein were to Watergate, Conway and Siegelman may well be to the cults. - New York Times Book Review It is a book of investigative reporting at its best. - Library Journal Their book is judicious, sensible, well-researched and very frightening.
Probably more timely now than when first published, this is an important title for academic and public libraries.
