`A Concise History of Sunnis and Shi'is is an important corrective ... provides the reader not just with all the historical background he or she could want, in an accessible and comprehensible fashion, but also employs this sound knowledge to a clear-headed appraisal of the modern Middle East.' (Times Literary Supplement)
'In lucid and accessible prose, John McHugo shows that there is nothing inevitable about the so-called Sunni-Shi'i divide.' (Madawi Al-Rasheed, author of A History of Saudi Arabia)
`John McHugo takes us through the Sunni-Shi`i divide over 1400 years of Islamic history with good judgement in balancing the various accounts, and a great clarity of expression.' (Moojan Momen, author of Shi`i Islam: A Beginner's Guide)
`It is no mean feat to cover over 1400 years of history ... Masterful and fascinating' (The Jordan Times )
