The Shia Revival by Vali Nasr
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.
"The value of Mr Nasr’s account lies in the context he gives to today’s headlines" -- The Economist
Vali Nasr is Dean and Professor of International Affairs at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies.
