As the architect of the Iranian Revolution of 1979, Ayatollah
Khomeini remains one of the most inspirational and enigmatic
figures of the twentieth century. The revolution placed Iran at the
forefront of Middle East politics and of the Islamic revival.
Twenty years after his death, Khomeini is revered as a spiritual
and political figurehead in Iran and in large swathes of the
Islamic world, while in the West he is remembered by many as a
dictator and as the instigator of Islamist confrontation. Arshin
Adib-Moghaddam brings together both distinguished and emerging
scholars in this comprehensive volume, which covers all aspects of
Khomeini's life and critically examines Khomeini the politician,
the philosopher, and the spiritual leader. The book details
Khomeini's early years in exile from Iran, the revolution itself,
and events that took place thereafter including the hostage crisis
and the Iran-Iraq war. Lastly, the book considers his legacy in
Iran where Khomeini's image has been used by both reformist and
conservative politicians to develop their own agendas and further
afield in other parts of the Islamic world and in the West. 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."
