Overview
Mahdis and Millenarians is a study of early extremist Shiites in Iraq and Iran, who originated doctrines and practices that influenced a number of later Shiite religious and political movements. Their millenarian expectations and willingness to use force against perceived enemies gave them a coherence that could be effectively mobilized.
