Once firmly identified with a variety of religious faiths, the martyr has just recently emerged within the secular world of politics, and in particular, within states embroiled in revolution. This book is a descriptive and analytical exercise which researches a number of areas concerning revolutionary martyrs. First, it examines the evolution of the martyrs character throughout its history. Next, it determines both the necessary and sufficient conditions which are present in the creation of martyrs in revolution. Third, the study suggests that some revolutionary martyrs possess a greater potential to arouse an incipient, latent community, to support revolutionary movements. Finally, it offers a measurement scale to determine the effectiveness of a revolutionary's martyrdom to incite action and identifies those bureaucratic controls which may enhance and politicize the image within a population in turmoil. In so doing, it is the author's hope that this research can be fruitful to policy makers and operators within the Departments of State and Defense in their ongoing efforts to more clearly understand and effectively employ psychological operations in revolutionary conflicts throughout the globe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Penny Hill Press Inc,Naval Postgraduate School\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1522884491\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781522884491\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/23\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.02h x 8.50w x 0.22d","brand":"Penny Hill Press Inc","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48800355123455,"sku":"9781522884491","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/martyrs-in-revolution-penny-hill-press-inc-9781522884491","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
