Fascinating scholarship, December 22, 2003

This review is from: Amal and the Shi'a: Struggle for the Soul of Lebanon (Modern Middle East Series: No. 13) (Paperback)
The Shiite Muslims have been a real puzzle to me, and I have been reading everything that I can get my hands on these days. This book turned on the light for me in terms of how the Shiites gains political awareness. Although it was published in 1987, it is the best thing that I have seen. One wonders whether parallel developments will occur in Iraq.
