Iran and its Islamic society are entities we will encounter more and more in the coming years. "To understand Iran," the author states, "we need to understand Iranians." With this book he lifts the veil.

  • What is the formal and informal system of government in the Islamic Republic of Iran?
  • How do humility and pride characterize Shia Muslims in the land that once was Persia?
  • Why does Iranian President Amadinejad obsess about the holocaust and nuclear power?
  • How does Shia Islam differ from Sunni Islam?
  • In what ways is Iran a progressive Muslim country?

"If we cannot understand the depth of feeling in the Muslim world toward Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Islam as a political force, then we will be doomed to failure in every encounter we have with that world."
