When Prophecy Fails: A Social and Psychological Study of a Modern Group That Predicted the Destruction of the World (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798880924752)

The study reported in this volume grew out of some theoretical work one phase of which bore specifically on the behavior of individuals in social movements that made specific (and unfulfilled) prophecies. We had been forced to depend chiefly on historical records to judge the adequacy of our theoretical ideas until we by chance discovered the social movement that we report in this book.
