Breaking the Spell is Daniel Dennett's most innovative and important work yet; it offers a profound challenge to society and a compelling new history of belief.
Few forces in the world are as potent as religion: it comforts people in their suffering and inspires them to both magnificent and terrible deeds.

Dennett's extraordinary achievement is to weave such a richly detailed narrative, to imagine it so vividly, and to argue for it so forcefully.
