Racing Toward Armageddon LP

What are "faith force multipliers," and which top members of the U.S. military have fought to employ them? Which world leader belongs to a secret messianic society called the Hojjatieh? What is the Chalcedon Foundation? And what is the correlation between its tenets, those of Sharia law, and the fulfillment of end-time prophecies?

In Racing Toward Armageddon, Michael Baigent, the New York Times bestselling author of The Jesus Papers and Holy Blood, Holy Grail, exposes a conspiracy of religious extremists in the Holy Land and their efforts to bring about the end of the world in our lifetime. Baigent unmasks those who are behind this perilous messianic agenda, and asks the question: can we really afford to remain oblivious much longer?

Michael Baigent was born in New Zealand in 1948. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology from Canterbury University, Christchurch, and a Master of Arts degree in mysticism and religious experience from the University of Kent, England. Baigent has also worked at the BBC. Since 1976 he has lived in England with his wife and children. He is the author of Omens of Babylon, Ancient Traces and the New York Times bestseller The Jesus Papers. He is also the co-author of international bestsellers Holy Blood, Holy Grail and The Messianic Legacy (with Henry Lincoln and Richard Leigh), The Temples and the Lodge, The Dead Sea Scrolls Deception, Secret Germany, The Elixir and the Stone, and The Inquisition.
