Since President Mohammad Khatami's landslide victory in May 1997, the Islamic Republic of Iran has been a study in contradictions. Whilst Khatami condemned his nations's fanatical past, there still remains an opposing faction towards the West. This study analyses Iran's post-revolutionary politics.
One of the most enduring features of Iranian politics under the Islamic Republic has been the kaleidoscope of competing factions. . . . But, as the author of this well-researched and informative book makes clear, factional divisions in contemporary Iran are far more complicated and fluid, and they do not lend themselves to simple classification. Relying on a variety of Iranian documents, including parliamentary debates and newspapers, as well as Western sources, Moslem provides a detailed analysis of factions and factional interaction in post-Khomeni Iran. He explains the sources of factionalism and the major personalities in the evolving factional alignments in the country. Highly recommended.
