Books by Fouad Ajami

Ajami resurrects the Shia's neglected history, both distant and recent, and interweaves the life and work of Musa al Sadr with the larger strands of the Shia past.

How have Arab political ideas and institutions evolved since the 1967 War? Fouad Ajami seeks to answer a range of related questions in his illuminating study of the constraints and possibilities facing the Arab world today. This revised edition, first published in 1992, was updated and renewed the book's status as an indispensable guide to the politics of the Arab world.
