Khomeini in France the big lies the story of his life and the revolution incident

The Khomeini in France: The Great Lies, His Life Story, and the Revolution Incident Author: Hoshang Nahaoundi Publisher: Gulf Arab Center for Iranian Studies Researcher: Cover Type: Hardcover Edition Number: First Publication Date: 2017 The importance of this book, which we are pleased to present to the noble Arab reader, derives from two perspectives, both adding to the significance of its subject in criticizing the Khomeini revolution in Iran and what it represents in terms of centrality in political, social, and cultural transformations: The first perspective is the analytical vision and factual information supported by documents across various aspects of the Iranian event, in a strong, serious style that encompasses different relationships and developments of the events, in a formulation that succeeds in presenting a comprehensive picture both event-wise and analytically from the author's point of view. Moreover, the author’s ability is not limited to shedding light on the event and its political implications alone, but also to drawing a complete panorama of the main characters and secondary ones who influenced the scene to varying degrees, which places the reader in front of an event connected to its facts, characters, and effects. The second perspective is the position of the author within the Iranian regime during the era of the Shah, as Dr. Hoshang Nahaoundi was during the Shah’s reign Minister of Housing, then Minister of Science, and later President of the University of Tehran, before leaving Iran after the revolution to France to work as a professor at the University of Paris for seventeen years. This gives the book a valuable qualitative significance, as it constitutes, in a significant part, a direct testimony and insight from within the Iranian event during that phase, with all its internal and external circumstances and conditions. Furthermore, in our translation of this book from the second French edition published in 2010, which was revised from the first edition issued in 2009, we paid full attention to accuracy. We also relied on explanations and clarifications credited to Dad Mehr, the translator of the Persian edition published by Dar "Shirket Ketab," based in Los Angeles. These are included in the footnotes of the book. We then wrote the word (Translator) to distinguish it from the author's footnotes, recognizing the differences arising from the fact that the book is aimed at a French reader and an Arab reader.
