Ayatollah Khomeini, known later as Imam in Iran and around the globe, is the first religious leader who sparked a popular revolution and moved to overthrow a monarchy which was under full-scale support of the world’s powers, culminating in their forming a religion-backed government, especially at a time (20th century) when many scholars described all religions as futile, rejecting all their social functions.Ayatollah Khomeini, known later as Imam in Iran and around the globe, is the first religious leader who sparked a popular revolution and moved to overthrow a monarchy which was under full-scale support of the world’s powers, culminating in their forming a religion-backed government, especially at a time (20th century) when many scholars described all religions as futile, rejecting all their social functions.Imam Khomeini voiced his opposition to the ruling dynasty by launching into a furious tirade against Pahlavi Shah, which, at the time, led to his apprehension and massacre of a prodigious number of people and came to fruition only 15 years later in 1979. Where had he come from and what was his background when his truth-seeking desires kindled in 1964 when he was almost 60? Did he run his life in schools of religious studies as other students did and have no political life? His childhood coincided with Constitutional Revolution and his adolescence with WWI. “Imam Khomeini, from Birth to Struggle against American Capitulation” is an analytical book on political and hidden dimensions of Imam Khomeini’s life. This book has been written by Dr. Mohammad Hassan Rajabi Davani, a well-known figure in historical studies and is a well-referenced and reliable source in the field, and in particular on the history of Islamic Revolution and Imam Khomeini’s life.
