From the bestselling author of Saddam comes the definitive
biography of Ayatollah Khomeini's Islamic revolution and how his
fundamentalist legacy has forever influenced the course of Iran's
relationship with the West.
In February 1979, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini returned to Tehran
after nearly fifteen years in exile and received a hero's welcome.
Just as the new world order sought to purge the communist
ideologies of the Cold War, the religious doctrine of Islamic
fundamentalism emerged to pose an even greater threat to post-Iron
Curtain stability--and Khomeini would mastermind it into a
revolution.
Khomeini's Ghost is the account of how an impoverished young
student from a remote area of southern Iran became the leader of
one of the most dramatic upheavals of the modern age, and how his
radical Islamic philosophy now lies at the heart of the modern-day
conflict between Iran and the West. Con Coughlin draws on a wide
variety of Iranian sources, including religious figures who knew
and worked with Khomeini both in exile and in power.
Both compelling and timely, Khomeini's Ghost is essential
reading for anyone wishing to understand what lies at the center of
many of the world's most intractable conflicts.
