Summary: Divine Madness: Mohammed 'Abdulle Hassan (1856-1920)
Comment: Dr. Abdi Sheik-Abdi's historical chronicle about the beloved Somali hero and his intellectual insights about the subject is the most reliable and unbiased event of the time. This book over-scored the Britain's false propaganda against the Mullah.
Dr. Abdi's work is the first class, very responsible and undeniably impressive. This historical milestone is very well researched, relaible and much better than anything else that has been written on the subject..... a substantial contribution to Somali history.

Rating: 4
Summary: Agreed with the previous reviewer.."Abdirahman
Comment: Warsangeli sultanate played major role in the downfall of the Dervishes. Without the inclusion of their history and contribution to the Somalia's emancipation from imperialistic control, Sayid's history would never be fair and fact. Revision of this book is highly recommended.

Rating: 2
Summary: Doesn't account for all the battles
Comment: The history of the dervishes will not be complete unless the battles against the Warsangeli Sultanate are studied and included. Most Somali historians ignore this fact, but the resistance from the Warsangeli army brought about the downfall of the Dervishes.
