The Shia Revival (Updates)

â€œHistorically incisive, geographically broad-reaching, and brimming with illuminating anecdotes.â€ â€”Max Rodenbeck, New York Review of Books

One of Americaâ€™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 â€œsmart, clear and timelyâ€ 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.
