The events depicted on the illustration of Mr. Diamond's book, "Guns, Germs, and Steel" spring to mind.

Supposedly, because the Holy Bible was not treated with proper deference and awe, about seven thousand "government workers" were slain in an orgy of violence.

Not familiar with the book.

Not familiar with the topic and can’t tell from the cover.

However I would like to mention another book that caused the slaughter of 80-100 million over the course of a century.
