  During the period of Mongol occupation from 1258-1386, Baghdad was a site of intense intellectual debate and dialogue between Shi'i and Sunni communities. The author contextualises the social and political climate of Iraq during this time, examining the complex nature of Shi'i-Sunni relations and their competition for authority and legitimacy.
