Buddhist Fury: Religion and Violence in Southern Thailand

By Michael K. Jerryson

Book Overview

Buddhist violence is not a well-known concept. In fact, it is generally considered an oxymoron. An image of a Buddhist monk holding a handgun or the idea of a militarized Buddhist monastery tends to stretch the imagination; yet these sights exist throughout southern Thailand.
