Specificatii
Iran's Revolutionary Guards are one of the most important forces in
the Middle East today. As the appointed defender of Iran's
revolution, the Guards have evolved into a pillar of the Islamic
Republic and the spearhead of its influence. Their sway has spread
across the Middle East, where the Guards have overseen loyalist
support to Bashar al-Assad in Syria and been a staunch backer in
Iraq's war against ISIS-bringing its own troops, Lebanon's
Hezbollah, and Shiite militias to the fight. Links to terrorism,
human rights abuses, and the suppression of popular democracy have
shrouded the Revolutionary Guards in controversy. In spite of their
prominence, the Guards remain poorly understood to outside
observers. In Vanguard of the Imam, Afshon Ostovar has written the
first comprehensive history of the organization. Situating the rise
of the Guards in the larger contexts of Shiite Islam, modern
Iranian history, and international affairs, Ostovar takes a
multifaceted approach in demystifying the organization and
detailing its evolution since 1979. Politics, power, and religion
collide in this story, wherein the Revolutionary Guards transform
from a rag-tag militia established in the midst of revolutionary
upheaval into a military and covert force with a global reach. The
Guards have been fundamental to the success of the Islamic
revolution. The symbiotic relationship between them and Iran's
clerical rulers underpins the regime's nearly unshakeable system of
power. The Guards have used their privileged position at home to
export Iran's revolution beyond its borders, establishing client
armies in their image and extending Iran's strategic footprint in
the process. Ostovar tenaciously documents the Guards'
transformation into a power-player and explores why the group
matters now more than ever to regional and global affairs. The book
simultaneously serves as a history of modern Iran, and provides a
crucial and engrossing entryway into the complex world of war,
politics, and identity in the Middle East.
