The Shia Revival: How Conflicts Within Islam Will Shape the Future
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.

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