Book Description
The Islamic Republic of Iran, although it has become famous for its foreign policy choices and actions on the international scene, it remains an enigma for the West. This book provides an introspective analysis of the foundation of this unique Islamic state, and reveal what makes it resilient, and attempts to sustain it. Taking a multidisciplinary approach using anthropological, philosophical, psychological, and military grids, the book revisits the power of the clergy and maps out its original meaning and its ability to be wielded to serve policies in line with Iran’s contemporary political context. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of military strategy, international security, and geostrategy, as well as military officers and policy makers who will benefit from the fresh perspective it adds to the Western view of a country whose strategic and military thinking is still largely unknown or misunderstood.
