Hooman Majd offers a deep analytic look at the politics of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the varying interpretations of the 1979 Islamic Revolution in the 21st century. His previous book “The Ayatollah Begs to Differ,” was well received and widely read by those watching the nuances of the Iran’s Islamic polity.
