The Druze: Between the Dream of a Mini-State and the State

Author: Muhammad Aref

Dr. Muhammad Abdul Rahman Aref is an Egyptian historian, writer, and academic researcher specializing in the history of international relations, foreign policy, and military documentary studies.

He is known for his rigorous research style based on deconstructing political archives and analyzing major periods of transformation in the Arab world (such as military coups and political assassinations).

The book focuses on the geopolitics and history of the Druze monotheistic community, shedding light on the French Mandate period and attempts to partition the region, and the inclination towards the national state and citizenship instead of narrow separatist projects.
