Publisher's Synopsis

"When Prophecy Fails" is a groundbreaking book by Leon Festinger, Henry Riecken, and Stanley Schachter that introduced the concept of cognitive dissonance into the study of human psychology. It chronicles a fascinating real-life case study of a small religious group that predicted the end of the world and how its members reacted when the prophecy failed to materialize.
