Fundamentalism by Malise Ruthven

Fundamentalism is a modern word that eludes easy definitions. This book attempts to expose the nature and spread of both secular and religious fundamentalism, and explore the different forms this can take. While questioning its usefulness as a term, it argues that there are some family resemblances between different fundamentalist movements.
