This important book, which examines the Caliphate on its own terms, will challenge the way scholars and other observers of political Islam conceive of their subject
John Calvert, Associate Professor of History, Creighton University and author of Sayyid Qutb and the Origins of Radical Islamism
A very illuminating and instructive book
John T. Sidel, Sir Patrick Gillam Professor of International and Comparative Politics, London School of Economics and Political Science
An authoritative blend of historical fact married with current Islamic political thought, Pankhurst offers an excellent insight on the institution of the Caliphate in Islam. Gripping, extremely learned, but accessible, this book is a must-read.
