Ahmadinejad
Kasra Naji
As Iran's nuclear program accelerates, all eyes are on the blacksmith's
son who could have his finger on the trigger. Who is Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad? What drives him? To whom, if anyone, does he answer?
Internationally acclaimed Iranian journalist Kasra Naji has spent years
interviewing Ahmadinejad's friends, family, and colleagues to tell for
the first time the true story of how he came to power. What emerges in
this riveting account, featuring never before published color
photographs, is a picture of a man who is much more of a force to be
reckoned with than the caricatures offered up so far suggest. While Naji
documents Ahmadinejad's often strange behavior, he also shows him to be
full of complex contradictions: a man gripped by apocalyptic beliefs,
yet capable of switching spiritual allegiance in the quest for power. A
man tough enough to fight street battles in the name of Ayatollah
Khomeini, crude enough to invite the German chancellor to join him in an
anti-Jewish alliance, yet sophisticated enough to win the support of
the all-powerful Revolutionary Guard. Kasra Naji takes us inside the
shadowy council chambers of Tehran, and shows us the plots, passions,
and personalities that will influence Ahmadinejad's next move, while the
world waits with bated breath.
