Synopsis

Iranian-born scholar Vali Nasr has become one of America's leading commentators on current events in the Middle East, admired and welcomed by both media and government for his concise and coherent analysis (Wall Street Journal, front-page profile). In this remarkable work (Anderson Cooper), Nasr brilliantly dissects the political and theological antagonisms within Islam, providing a unique and objective understanding of the 1,400-year bitter struggle between Shias and Sunnis and shedding crucial light on its modern-day consequences.

Media Reviews
Provocative. -- Thomas L. Friedman Brilliant and very readable. -- Trudy Rubin [A] must-read for those who find themselves perplexed about the sectarian violence in Iraq, the unpredictable politics of Iran, and the suddenly resurgent Hezbollah in Lebanon. -- Robert Hunt Smart, clear and timely. -- Warren Bass Fast moving, engaging and ultimately unnerving... The Shia Revival is at its most provocative when exposing how the Sunni-Shiite power imbalance seeps out of classrooms and infects life on the ground. -- Irshad Manji This book offers compelling corrective reading... Broad-ranging and detailed, but still eminently readable. -- L. Carl Brown
