Reviews

This volume is a welcome contribution to the study of two still relatively neglected areas of scholarship: Shi'ism and the history of Palestine. The detail is so rich that the reader is left almost wishing the book were longer. It can only be hoped that others will use this work as a starting point for many more studies related to the Shi'i's in Palestine.
