A New York Times bestseller on its first publication, Vali Nasr's brilliant dissection of the political and theological antagonisms within Islam changed the American discourse and established Nasr as one of the world's foremost thinkers on the Middle East. Now, ten years after its original publication, The Shia Revival remains as timely and essential as ever. With a new aferword that elucidates the rise of ISIS and ongoing tensions betwen Iran and Saudi Arabia, Nasr's unique insights and objective understanding of the 1,400-year bitter struggle between Shias and Sunnis sheds crucial light on its modern-day consequences.
