How did the Ayatollah Khomeini create his Islamic state? What were
the ideas which drove him and his movement? What organization and
methods helped bring him to power? This book analyses the
ideaological roots of an Islamic state as conceived by the
Ayatollah Khomeini. Surprisingly, the author finds much of the
inspiration behind Khomeini's political thinking being influenced
by Western sources - his writing on the supreme Islamic Jurist
being affected by Plato's notions of the philosopher-king and his
views of state power and centralism being closely linked to his
understanding of Marxist/Leninist totalitarianism. Vanessa Martin
considers the dynamics of the Iranian Revolution and the Islamist
revival in a book which is especially relevant in the context of
the debate arising out of Iran's elections.
