mo_isu_ 's review for:
I picked up this book looking for political history, especially on the 50-year power tussle that eventually led to the genesis of Shi'ism. I feel like I got that. This book attempts to cover (as much as possible) the branches and sub-branches that have formed around the history of the unavoidably political matter of Religious formation. I think it's a good read for those interested in exploring the political history of Islam but is not material for a beginner reader interested in understanding what Islam is.
