Hoffer revisited: Combating the modern true believer

Article Abstract:

The 1951book "The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements" by Eric Hoffer which offered insights into the nature of a true believer and why he commits violent acts against the United States seems relevant even in the 21st century. The book is reread to analyze its suitability to the existing global war on terror (GWOT) and the true believer who should be combated is recognized as a misfit who motivates masses through his words and is characterized by insecurity and suspicion.
