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
