Recenzje

"The study throws new light on this character's intentions, ambitions, and limitations ... it offers a re-evaluation of his life that integrates the various facets and stages of his career, resulting in ' a more conventional, more conservative, more human figure' of the man."

"Woerner-Powell ist eines der unverzichtbaren Referenzwerke, wenn es darum geht, etwas über Abd al-Qadir al-Jaza iri zu schreiben."
Rüdiger Lohlker in: Wiener Zeitschrift für die Kunde des Morgenlandes 108 (2018): 459-460

"Another Road to Damascus is a well-written, accessible, and overall compelling account of Abd al-Qadir's life and deeds. It is an excellent introductory and reference work for the classroom that also raises intriguing questions about entanglements between political interests and historical scholarship in appraising the life of a prominent individual. [...] undoubtedly the most accomplished biography of Abd al-Qadir to date.
