Description: Montazeri by Sussan Siavoshi Looking at the historical context as well as the political trajectory of the Grand Ayatollah Montazeri, a key figure in the Iranian revolution of 1978–9, Sussan Siavoshi explains how he went from the nominated successor of Khomeini to an opponent of the prevailing ideas of political rule in the Islamic Republic. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description By the time of his death in 2009, the Grand Ayatollah Montazeri was lauded as the spiritual leader of the Green movement in Iran. Since the 1960s, when he supported Ayatollah Khomeinis opposition to the Shah, Montazeris life reflected the crucial political shifts within Iran. In this book, Sussan Siavoshi presents the historical context as well as Montazeris own political and intellectual journey. Siavoshi highlights how Montazeri, originally a student of Khomeini became one of the key figures during the revolution of 1978–9. She furthermore analyses his subsequent writings, explaining how he went from trusted advisor to and nominated successor of Khomeini to an outspoken critic of the Islamic Republic. Examining Montazeris political thought and practice as well as the historical context, Siavoshis book is vital for those interested in post-revolutionary Iran and the phenomenon of political Islam. Author Biography Sussan Siavoshi is the Cox Chapman Professor of Political Science at Trinity University, Texas.
