Abstract: . . . In a desperate moment the string breaks. Untuned ears hear nothing but discord. But those who feel the agonized cry understand its harmony; they hear in it the fulfillment of the most compelling moment of human nature. Such is the psychology of political violence. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ENDNOTES: 1 A revolutionist committing an act of political violence. 2 Paris and the Social Revolution. 3 From a pamphlet issued by the Freedom Group of London. 4 The Free Hindustan. . . . . . . are but a drop in the ocean. That so few resist is the strongest proof how terrible must be the conflict between their souls and unbearable social iniquities.

But those who feel the agonized cry understand its harmony; they hear in it the fulfillment of the most compelling moment of human nature. Such is the psychology of political violence. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ENDNOTES: 1 A revolutionist committing an act of political violence. 2 Paris and the Social Revolution. 3 From a pamphlet issued by the Freedom Group of London. 4 The Free Hindustan. . . . . . . iniquities.
