Read excerpt
The purpose of the Supreme National Security Council is to secure the national interests and safeguard the mullahs’ regime and Khomeini’s upheaval, which, in the wintry, springless season of 1979, brought the Islamic caliphate-or Shiite clerical dictatorship-to power under the name of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
