### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Indispensable Reference
*by H***T on January 3, 2014*

Professor Khadduri's "War and Peace in the Law of Islam" is an indispensable reference for those who want to understand the immutable doctrine governing the relationship between the Umma (Muslim community) and the kuffar (non-Muslims). In this forthright and candid 1955 edition, Professor Khadduri updated his original 1941 text and examined this relationship at a time when 10 Muslim countries had entered the United Nations, providing context to an otherwise anomalous development in international relations between Dar al Islam (the abode of Islam) and Dar al Harb (the abode of war). Professor Khadduri provides the reader a clear, concise analysis in eminently readable language that is devoid of dissimulation. His discussion is both legal and historical, and draws from a variety of irrefutable sources. Khadduri's examination will be valuable to historians and diplomats alike, but should rightfully be absorbed by the general public as the lessons of his analysis will be ignored at our peril. I had been hoping to add this excellent manuscript to my library for years, but at nearly $100 per copy it was beyond my budget. At the rather accessible price of just over $20 (as of December 2013), this paperback version is a great addition to anyone's library. Highly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent, Pre 9-11 Scholarship
*by W***. on August 14, 2007*

The 1955 edition of "War and Peace in the Law of Islam" provides a pre 9-11 examination of Islam that is refreshingly devoid of the current era of political correctness and academic appeasement.Khadduri's manuscript, written for the Johns Hopkins Press, was reviewed by Professor Joseph Schacht, University of Leiden, Sir Hamilton Gibb, University of Oxford, Professor Phillip K. Hitti, Princeton University, Dean Phillip W. Thayer, School of Advanced Studies of the Johns Hopkins University, and Professor Leo Strauss, University of Chicago. Two quotes both set the tone and give insight to the unvarnished examination Khadduri subjects Islam:"Islam, emerging in the seventh century as a conquering nation with world domination as its ultimate aim, refused to recognize legal systems other than its own." P. vii"In Muslim legal theory, Islam and shirk (associating other gods with Allah) cannot exist together in this world; it is the duty of the imam as well as every believer not only to see that God's word shall be supreme, but also that no infidel shall deny God or be ungrateful for His favors (ni'am)."Khadduri lays out the insights needed to understand a Seventh Century Threat to the 21st Century.
