There are few more contentious issues than the relation of faith to power or the suggestion that religion is irrational compared with politics and peculiarly prone to violence. The former claim is associated with Juergen Habermas and the latter with Richard Dawkins. In this book David Martin argues, against Habermas, that religion and politics share a common mythic basis and that it is misleading to contrast the rationality of politics with the irrationality of religion. In contrast to Richard Dawkins (and New Atheists generally), Martin argues that the approach taken is brazenly unscientific and that the proclivity to violence is a shared feature of religion, nationalism and political ideology alike rooted in the demands of power and social solidarity. The book concludes by considering the changing ecology of faith and power at both centre and periphery in monuments, places and spaces.

By interacting with the materials presented, rather than merely memorizing the book's content, readers learn what teaching is all about in an exploratory, inquiring, constructivist-based manner.

The book provides a detailed account of the relationship between Josip Broz Tito and Draza Mihailovich during World War II.

The book is based on extensive research and interviews with surviving members of the Yugoslav Partisans and the Chetniks. It also includes previously unpublished documents and photographs. The book sheds light on a little-known aspect of World War II history and offers a fresh perspective on the conflict in Yugoslavia.
