Product Description
Review
"The Rushdie Affair is a lucid, balanced often startling and ultimately convincing analysis....scrupulously fair, respectful of Islam yet unintimidated by the flood of threats and invective." - Mark Caldwell, Philadelphia Inquirer "[A] work of impeccable scholarship....Pipes offers a number of conclusions that merit attention at all levels." - Amir Tahiri, Los Angeles Times
Product Description
This work explains why the publication of "The Satanic Verses" became a cataclysmic event with far-reaching political and social consequences. It looks at the Rushdie affair in both its political and cultural aspects and shows in considerable detail what the fundamentalists perceived as so offensive in "The Satanic Verses" as against what Rushdie's novel actually said. It explains how the book created a new crisis between Iran and the West at the time - disrupting international diplomacy, billions of dollars in trade, and prospects for the release of Western hostages in Lebanon. This volume provides a full understanding of one of the most unexpected and significant events in the late-1980s.
