Description:

Can Shi'is, who historically have been a minority within Islam, take the lead in inspiring reform in the Arab world? Yitzhak Nakash raises this critically important question for American foreign policy and he makes a compelling argument that Shi'is certainly have the potential and motivation to do so.
