Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the provocative president of Iran, has seized the global spotlight with his anti-Israel and anti-Semitic speeches, his government's likely funding of Islamic terrorists, his open letters to President George W. Bush, and his nuclear ambitions. Ahmadinejad will likely be a central figure in twenty-first century geopolitics and this title offers a thorough biography, as well as an invaluable survey of Iranian history, culture, religion, and politics. Combining an anecdotal, narrative biographical style with the enthralling storytelling of popular history and the immediacy of journalism, this book educates, fascinates, and informs.
* Reviews *
Book Review--"As much a history of Iran as a biography of its current president...bound to stir intense controversy [includes] a time line, glossary, and list of books for further reading there is a long, up-to-date bibliography of books, articles, and interviews, such
as Mike Wallace's 2006 conversation with Ahmadinejad on 60 Minutes."
