A Critical Introduction to Khomeini by Arshin Adib-Moghaddam

The architect of the Iranian Revolution of 1979, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini is revered in Iran as a spiritual and political figurehead and pilloried in the West as a dictator and the instigator of Islamist confrontation. A Critical Introduction to Khomeini covers all aspects of Khomeini's life as a politician, philosopher, and spiritual leader. Written by scholars from varying disciplinary backgrounds, the book will prove invaluable to students and general readers interested in the life and times of Khomeini and the politics of Islam that he inspired.
