Reviews for Salafism in Lebanon
Fascinating, well-researched, well-documented, and well-written book ... powerful, topical, compelling, persuasive, and dispassionate history that still at times reads like a novel - not to say a thriller. But this is a thriller that draws heavily on skilled analyses of the history, the rituals, the theology, the epistemology, and the politics of Lebanon and its Salafists.
