A Prospect 'History Book of the Year' 2024A Guardian 'Best Gift
Book of 2024''A masterly engagement with the most delicate and
important of subjects - filled with gentle empathy, learning and
rare balance' Rory Stewart'Rogerson is an original - eloquent and
always fascinating ... few British authors understand the Middle
East so intimately and well' William DalrympleRecommended on The
Rest is Politics and EmpireAt the heart of the Middle East, with
its regional conflicts and proxy wars, is a 1400-year-old schism
between Sunni and Shia. To understand this divide and its modern
resonances, we need to revisit its origins, which go back to the
death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632, the accidental coup that set
aside the claims of his cousin and son-in-law Ali, and the
slaughter of Ali's own son Husayn at Kerbala.These events, known to
every Muslim, have created a slender faultline in the Middle East.
The House Divided follows these narratives from the first Sunni and
Shia caliphates, through the medieval caliphates and empires of the
Arabs, Persians and Ottomans, to the contemporary Middle East. It
shows how a complex range of identities and rivalries - religious,
ethnic and national - have shaped the region, jolted by the seismic
shift of the Iranian Revolution of 1979.Rogerson's original
approach takes the modern chessboard of nation states and looks at
each through its particular history of empires and occupiers,
minorities and resources, sheikhs and imams. The result is a book
of wide-ranging empathy, understanding and insights.
