Description This book is a portrait of the current Supreme Leader and the cultural and intellectual milieu in which he came to power. It offers details about his character, including his interest in literature, and demonstrates how he became a master of consolidating power and adopted an aggressive regional posture and strategic hedging on the nuclear issue.

Publisher Description

During his lengthy tenure as Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei has shown a knack for consolidating power by creating layers of bureaucracy in military, economic, and religious affairs. In turn, he has liberally purged officials who have hinted at disloyalty to him, the Islamic Republic, or its governing doctrine, velayat-e faqih (rule of the jurisprudent). But Khamenei does not lack for personal complexity. As a younger man, he dressed casually, flaunted his love of literature, and composed poetry. And as a leader, he has often demonstrated flexibility—coined as "heroic flexibility" in the case of the 2015 nuclear deal—at times of national risk or strained social cohesion. He has likewise blessed the rise of relatively moderate presidents such as Mohammad Khatami and Hassan Rouhani when he thought their leadership would reinforce national stability. Such flexibility could apply to forthcoming negotiations with Washington on the nuclear fileThis wide-ranging study details Khamenei's political ascent, from his role as an influential cleric in Mashhad to his presidency under Ruhollah Khomeini and his surprising appointment as Supreme Leader. It details the massive religious, intelligence, and cultural infrastructure he was erected—with all officials reporting to him. Whoever succeeds him, the author makes plain, will inherit an infrastructure designed to preserve Iran's authoritarian system and suppress rumblings of internal dissent.
