About The Shia Revival
Product Description “Historically incisive, geographically broad-reaching, and brimming with illuminating anecdotes.” ―Max Rodenbeck, New York Review of Books One of America’s leading commentators on current events in the Middle East, Iranian-born scholar Vali Nasr brilliantly dissects the political and theological antagonisms within Islam in this “smart, clear and timely” book ( Washington Post). Still essential and still timely ten years after its original publication, The Shia Revival provides a unique and objective understanding of the 1,400-year bitter struggle between Shias and Sunnis and sheds crucial light on its modern-day consequences. A new epilogue elucidates the rise of ISIS and ongoing tensions between Iran and Saudi Arabia. Review "Broad-ranging and detailed, but still eminently readable." ― L. Carl Brown, Foreign Affairs "Arguably the best book on the market that provides a critical background to the emotionally charged events we have been witnessing in Iran, Iraq, Lebanon and beyond." ― Nader Hashemi, Globe and Mail "The value of Mr. Nasr’s account lies in the context he gives to today’s headlines." ― The Economist About the Author Vali Nasr is Dean and Professor of International Affairs at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies.
