Trade Review
"For the dedicated regional student who wants to examine the politics of the current conflicts in the region it provides a wealth of insight."---Jerry Lenaburg, New York Journal of Books
"Captures the complexities, and in fact pulls the reader away from the usual tired dichotomy."---Tyler Cowen, Marginal Revolution
"To open the book is to appreciate the extent of the challenges in trying to understand the Islamic world and how it has drawn in the great global players, often at great cost to both. . . . Sunnis and Shi'a is an important book."---Barclay McBain, The Herald
"

In terms of a superb and scholarly overview of Islamic history as articulated by the Sunnī and the
Shī‘a, Louër’s book. . . .is a tour de force, and as such should be compulsory reading for students of Islamic history, whether Sunnī
or Shī‘ī.

"---Christopher Clohessy, Islamochristiana
