Hudson, Georgetown University "A broad and exotic historical view."-- Jewish Chronicle "A most illuminating essay."-- Choice "An excellent introduction to the study of the Druze.... Betts adds an extra flavor to his study by providing personal impressions based on his first-hand knowledge of the Druze villages and towns in Lebanon, Syria, and Israel."--Marius Deeb, Middle East Journal "A first-rate authoritative general survey."--John Clark, Theological Book Review
