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.

Reviews for The Shia Revival

The value of Mr. Nasr's account lies in the context he gives to today's headlines. -- The Economist 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
