"Peters's The Hajj provides a clear and accurate picture of the
organization of [Muslim] rituals. His book is ... sufficiently
comprehensive to replace older accounts of the Hajj. By reading the
sources it cites, one can follow the key rituals in some
detail."---Robert Irwin, The London Review of Books
"A strong impression of the powerful impact of the pilgrimage on
all who witnessed it."---Francis Robinson, The Times Literary
Supplement
