Juan R. I. Cole is professor of modern Middle Eastern and South Asian history at the University of Michigan.
"This reflective and insightful work... will commend itself especially to those who are concerned with modernist doctrine, Baha'i responses to that doctrine, and the implications of both for a fuller understanding of important facets of Middle Eastern history." -- Merlin Swartz, "American Historical Review"
