Description: The Vanished Imam by Fouad Ajami Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Ajami resurrects the Shias neglected history, both distant and recent, and interweaves the life and work of Musa al Sadr with the larger strands of the Shia past. Publisher Description In the summer of 1978, Musa al Sadr, the spiritual leader of the Muslim Shia sect in Lebanon, disappeared mysteriously while on a visit to Libya. As in the Shia myth of the "Hidden Imam," this modern-day Imam left his followers upholding his legacy and awaiting his return. Considered an outsider when he had arrived in Lebanon in 1959 from his native Iran, he gradually assumed the role of charismatic mullah, and was instrumental in transforming the Shia, a quiescent and downtrodden Islamic minority, into committed political activists. What sort of person was Musa al Sadr? What beliefs in the Shia doctrine did his life embody? Where did he fit into the tangle of Lebanons warring factions? What was behind his disappearance? In this fascinating and compelling narrative, Fouad Ajami resurrects the Shias neglected history, both distant and recent, and interweaves the life and work of Musa al Sadr with the larger strands of the Shia past. Author Biography Fouad Ajami is the Majid Khadduri professor in Middle East Studies and Director of the Middle East Studies Program at the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) of Johns Hopkins University.
