The history of Iran in the late twentieth century is a chronicle
of religious fervor and violent change -- from the Islamic
Revolution that ousted the Shah in favor of a rigid fundamentalist
government to the bloody eight-year war with Saddam Hussein's Iraq.
But what happened to the hostage-takers, the suicidal holy
warriors, the martyrs, and the mullahs responsible for the now
moribund revolution? Is modern Iran a society at peace with itself
and the world, or truly a dangerous spoke in the "Axis of
Evil"?
Christopher de Bellaigue, a Western journalist married to an
Iranian woman and a longtime resident of a prosperous suburb of
Tehran, offers a stunning insider's view of a culture hitherto
hidden from American eyes, and reveals the true hearts and minds of
an extraordinary people.
