The Mojahedin Khalq Organization is an Iranian political party that
helped Khomeini's religious sect in Iran bring about the Islamic
revolution of 1979, after being at the forefront of opposition to
the rule of the Shah. However, as the revolution got underway the
Mojahedin, which used some elements of Mao Tse Tung's political and
warfare philosophy, were sidelined by the religious clerics and
were expelled from the political arena. They responded by attacking
the dominant polity through democratic means (such as political
demonstrations, increasing the role of women), and later through
armed resistance via Iraq, to become the most significant
opposition powerbase to the current regime of Iran. ... The author
details the Organization's relations with Yasser Arafat and the
Palestinian Authority, European host nations, and most particularly
with Saddam Hussein and the Iraqi military, and the end of war
(1980-1988) negotiations between Iran and Iraq. Towards the end of
its major activities, the Organization acted as little more than a
cult, demanding total reverence to its leader Massoud Rajavi. Since
1997 the Organization has dissolved and depleted, and now functions
at little more than a rhetoric level. ... This book provides a
detailed history of the Organization and its members, and addresses
its complex relationship with western and international powers,
most specifically the United States, in its endeavours to harness
agreement to topple the Islamic Republic of Iran.
