Book Description
This book analyzes the evolution of the Hojjatiyeh movement in Iran, a semi-clandestine movement which emerged in the 1950s as an anti-Baha’i movement, went underground in the 1960s, and re-emerged openly after Iran’s 1979 revolution with its members coming to occupy some of the highest echelon posts in Iranian politics
