description: The millennial Watchtower Movement had a revolutionary impact in colonial Malawi and Zambia, where British officials were terrified of its potential repercussions and reacted violently. Fields examines three specific historical outbreaks of this millenarian movement in fascinating detail and uses them to draw novel conclusions about mission endeavor, British governance, and millennial prophecy. In the context of indirect rule, Fields argues that missions were inherently subversive.
