"Under the Banner of Heaven" is a book that caused a storm in the United States and met with a strong reaction from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The author, Jon Krakauer, undertook the difficult task of understanding the nature of faith, which was supposed to be the basis of virtue, openness, and obedience, but became the cause of a cruel crime. Krakauer seeks answers to the question of how faith can lead to fanaticism and violence, and how to distinguish true revelation from madness.
This book is not only a story about Mormons, but also about America, its history and culture, its obsession with religion and its tendency to extremism. Krakauer shows how faith mixes with calculation, and cynicism smoothly turns into mysticism and fanaticism. It is a story about how easily people can be manipulated in the name of God and how difficult it is to distinguish truth from falsehood.
Czarne Publishing House, known for publishing non-fiction literature at the highest level, presents this book in a new edition from 2022. "Under the Banner of Heaven" is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of religion, the psychology of fanaticism, and the mechanisms of manipulation. It is a book that stays in your memory for a long time and forces you to reflect on your own beliefs and values.
Katarzyna Surmiak-Domańska aptly summarizes: "In this terrifying and at the same time extraordinarily funny book, Krakauer shows how faith mixes with calculation, and cynicism smoothly turns into mysticism and fanaticism. It is a story not only about Mormons, not only about America."
