More books in English:
13. "Shitte Islam", by Tabatabai (translated into English by Seyyed Hussein Nasr)
Note: Allamah Ayatollah Seyyed Muhammad Husayn Tabatabayi, who passed away recently, was one of the scholars and philosophers of Shi’a Islam. He is known for many contributions to Islamic scholarship, including _Tafsir al-Mizan_.
14. "An Introduction to Shi’i Islam: History and Doctrines of Twelver Shi’ism", by Moojan Momen
Note: The beginning chapters explain the historical events that lead to the Shi’a-Sunni split. I don’t think the author is a Shi’a himself, but the book is informative.
15. "The Shiites Under Attack", by Muhammad Javad Chirri. Available from: The Islamic Center of America, 15571 Joy Road, Detroit, Michigan, 48228.
This book is very interesting and highly recommened for those who would like to study Shi’a. It removes many doubts and allegations scientifically.
Books 13, 14 and 15 are available in many US public and/or university libraries.
