The Iranian revolution still baffles most Western observers. In The Turban for the Crown , Said Amir Arjomand provides a thoughtful and painstakingly researched account that makes the turmoil in Iran intelligible to the general reader. To provide crucial historical background, Arjomand traces the history of Shi'ism in Iran, ranging from its establishment as a state religion in 1501 to the ascendency of Reza Shah and the threat his creation of a modern state bureaucracy posed to Shi'ite institutions. He describes how, when the state built by Reza Shah began to crumble, the millennarianism inherent in Shi'ism, combined with Khomeini's charismatic leadership, facilitated the emergence of Khomeini as a messianic anti-monarch. Unmatched in originality, historical depth, and accuracy, The Turban for the Crown is filled with insight into the Iranian revolution and the rise of Islamic fundamentalism in the Middle East.
