Iran Supreme Leadership Usurped Power

This book explores Khomeini's position in the Iranian Shiite Hawza before the 1979 revolution and his position in the Shiite Hawza in general. The book is of great importance because it is one of the first to address Iran's relations with Arab Shiism from a viewpoint that encompasses the controversial political constitutional jurisprudent theory-which is a point of disagreement in post-Khomeini Iran among the Arab jurists and the Marajaya [the Shiite religious authority].
