In this gripping narrative history, Lesley Hazleton tells the tragic story at the heart of the ongoing rivalry between the Sunni and Shia branches of Islam, a rift that dominates the news now more than ever.

Even as Muhammad lay dying, the battle over who would take control of the new Islamic nation had begun, sparking a succession crisis marked by power grabs, assassination, political intrigue, and passionate faith. Soon, Islam was embroiled in civil war, pitting its founder's controversial wife, Aisha, against his son-in-law, Ali, and shattering Muhammad's ideal of unity.

Combining meticulous research with compelling storytelling, After the Prophet explores the volatile intersections of religion and politics, psychology and culture, and history and current events. It is an indispensable guide to the depth and power of the Shia-Sunni split.

I came to this book with a cursory understanding of Sunni/Shia differences, as well as -- if I'm honest, a fairly meager understanding of the history of Islam. This book pulls off a major feat in being both informational and riveting. Totally riveting. Stay-up-far-longer-than-intended riveting.

At first, I was somewhat skeptical of the narrator. Meaning simply that I wasn't sure from the sample that I would enjoy her narration.) Well, I more than enjoyed it; I loved it. I can't think of a better narrator for this

I realize that I may come across as being hyperbolic, but this is simply one of the best audiobooks I've ever listened to -- in any genre. If you have the slightest bit of interest in learning more about Islam, about divisions within the religion, or even just if you're looking for a story that will command your full attention...well, then I would highly recommend listening to this audiobook.

Simply Fantastic

A vivid, rich and moving account of the 50 years after Mohammed's death, and the rise of the Sunni Shia split which still drives international politics and history today. Essential for understanding the Middle East and Islam,and beautifully narrated by the author. Highly recommended.

Incredible history deeply relevant to today

I think this book provides a detailed image of history in the middle east. However, since I am unaware of the history, I would like to fact check it before I say it is entirely accurate. I liked how the story is unbias, since the author is an outsider looking in, but despite this I almost felt like Aiysha was painted in a harsh and negative light. Perhaps that is really how she was. In any case, I thought the ending was absolutely beautiful and shined light on the ummah of muslims.

amazing story

I got this on a whim. I love history so thought it might be interesting. This is exceptional. Excellent narrative and ultimately explains the present in what Americans call the Middle East. I have recommended it to friends who were raised Muslim.

Exceptional

The author does a great job of providing an overview of the Sunni/Shia split. I'm sure that certain nuances can be taken to greater depths, this book provides a good base.

although I think he could have done without some of his liberal, anti-American Latter-Day commentary.

Learned a lot from this book about the basis of a religion I didn't know much about. Very good book! Had to get used to the author's accent, but once I did, no other issues there.

Excellent book

This author is a master storyteller. The information has been carefully researched and it unfolds in a way that the reader/listener craves more and more. Can't recommend this book and author highly enough.

Storytelling -based on research- at its best!
