A Fragrance of Oppression: The Church and Its… by Herbert Schlossberg

Looks at persecution primarily from the communist world, where much of it was coming from at the time the book was being written, and Islamic world. Communism collapsed before publication. Particularly good chapter on a theological understanding of persecution.
