Shia Revival

Shia Revival

“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 ( The Washington Post). Still essential and timely ten years after its original publication, The Shia Revival provides an objective understanding of the 1,400-year struggle between Shias and Sunnis and sheds light on its modern-day consequences. A new epilogue elucidates the rise of ISIS and on-going tensions between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
