From
the
bestselling
author
of
Saddam
comes
the
definitive
biography
of
Ayatollah
Khomeini's
Islamic
revolution
and
how
his
fundamentalist
legacy
has
forever
influenced
the
course
of
Iran's
relationship
with
the
West.In
February
1979,
Ayatollah
Ruhollah
Khomeini
returned
to
Tehran
after
nearly
fifteen
years
in
exile
and
received
a
hero's
welcome.
Just
as
the
new
world
order
sought
to
purge
the
communist
ideologies
of
the
Cold
War,
the
religious
doctrine
of
Islamic
fundamentalism
emerged
to
pose
an
even
greater
threat
to
post–Iron
Curtain
stability—and
Khomeini
would
mastermind
it
into
a
revolution.Khomeini's
Ghost
is
the
account
of
how
an
impoverished
young
student
from
a
remote
area
of
southern
Iran
became
the
leader
of
one
of
the
most
dramatic
upheavals
of
the
modern
age,
and
how
his
radical
Islamic
philosophy
now
lies
at
the
heart
of
the
modern-day
conflict
between
Iran
and
the
West.
Con
Coughlin
draws
on
a
wide
variety
of
Iranian
sources,
including
religious
figures
who
knew
and
worked
with
Khomeini
both
in
exile
and
in
power.Both
compelling
and
timely,
Khomeini's
Ghost
is
essential
reading
for
anyone
wishing
to
understand
what
lies
at
the
center
of
many
of
the
world's
most
intractable conflicts.
