Synopsis

The Ayatollah Khomeini was considered as ‘public enemy number one’ by the West after his Revolution which brought an Islamic Republic to Iran. To many, he is remembered as the man who brought terror to his country, who approved of the hostage crisis at the American Embassy and who issued a fat’wa condemning Salman Rushdie to death. To many Muslims, he was a redeemer, a man of God and a freedom fighter. Was he saint or monster? This book looks at the life of this famous Shi’ite and seeks to draw a faithful picture of the most famous man in Iranian history.
