All Editions of The Grand Inquisitor's Manual: A History of Terror in the Name of God
Inquisition History
As the subtitle says, it's a history of terror in the Name of God. However, the last chapter notes that God can be a political ideology a la Nazism, Stalinism, McCarthyism, and Bush/Cheneyism. What we should learn from this history of the Inquisition, as the author states, is 'the machinery of persecution once switched on, cannot be easily slowed or directed, much less stopped.' He notes that inquisitions are based on whispered rumors and fabricated evidence, testimony taken in secret from anonymous informants. That sounds kind of familiar.
