Items related to The Ayatollahs` Democracy – An Iranian Challenge
Hailed as one of the year's best foreign policy books, Hooman Majd's latest offers dramatic perspective on a country with global ambitions, an elaborate political culture, and policies with enormous implications for world peace. Drawing on privileged access to the Iranian power elite, Majd "gives a harrowing description of the aftermath of the 2009 presidential elections in Iran" (Haleh Esfandiari). This "nimble take on Iran's fraught political landscape" (Kirkus Reviews) "sounds a dire warning to those in the West who want a democratic Iran. . . . Let us hope the President is listening" (Reza Aslan, The Atlantic).

Review:
Its insights may startle Americans who think of Iran purely as a fundamentalist Islamic state.
Like a nonfiction novel, going beyond hard facts to enter people's consciousness.--Marc Tracy
The first fifty pages of this book would make a Sundance-winning film, but the meat of the book explores, in vividly readable style, the evolving concept of Islamic democracy, the widespread support for nuclear power, and the historical pride and resistance to western intervention. A well-connected insider with the eye of a master psychologist, Majd gives us a nuanced, in-depth portrait of a country both far more sophisticated and far less rigid than western policymakers have yet appreciated.--Lesley Hazleton, author of After the Prophet: The Epic Story of the Shia-Sunni Split
Regardless what you happen to think of Majd's political analysis (I happen to mostly agree with it), he has the most detailed and gripping reporting of the Iranian elections to date.... I encourage the White House to get a copy of Majd's book. And for Dish readers to pre-order it.--Patrick Appel ""The Daily Dish" "
