This book is a fascinating critical examination of the
characteristics and development of the armed forces in Iran, their
role under the Shah and their re-creation in the war against Iraq
as the fighting forces of Islam. The author examines the
contradictory accounts, including the Shah's own Answer to History,
as well as newly available accounts by highly placed ex-officials,
and interviews with exiled army officers. He examines in detail the
apparent shift of allegiance within the forces from the Shah to
Imam and the ways in which this was accomplished. Major Iranian
offensives, changing strategies from human wave assault to the
Tankers War, and the delicate balance between the regular Army and
the Revolutionary Guards, are also extensively examined. The book
concludes with an analysis of the potential role of the armed
forces in a succession crisis.
