Title: The new Iranian leadership
Description: "This book documents Ahmadinejad's background and rise to power. It explains the current structure of the Iranian revolutionary government - the competing centers of power and the major players. In separate sections, it details the terrorist groups funded and armed by Iran, primarily Hezbollah and Hamas. And it provides a comprehensive picture of Iran's apparent aspirations to acquire nuclear weapons, as well as the related implications for regional and global security concerns. There is little reason to believe that Ahmadinejad will leave the scene anytime soon, or that Iran's behavior will change in the near term, underscoring the importance of the understanding this book provides."--BOOK JACKET.
