"Weiner doesn't simplify his argument by dismissing or condescending to the clan system; he engages with the very real benefits provided by one of the most durable political associations in human history....This erudite, quick-paced book demonstrates what the mix of modernity and clans can create." --The New York Times Book Review "An accessible, mesmerizing, and compelling argument...An important book...Highly recommended" --New York Journal of Books
