  Aims to capture the metamorphosis of Islamic movement in Iran, from encounters with Great Britain and United States in the 1920s through twenty-first-century struggles between those seeking to reform Islam's role and those who take a defensive stance. This book describes how the extremism of 1960s brought more confidence to Islam-minded Iranians.
