Description

Gain a deep understanding of the political and military landscape of Iran with this scholarly work from the Routledge Durham Modern Middle East and Islamic World Series. This book examines the evolution of the Revolutionary Guard Corps, also known as the 'Sepah', and its rise to power in the decades following the 1979 revolution. Originally established by Ayatollah Khomeini as a paramilitary organization to protect the new Islamic regime and counter the Imperial army (Artesh), the Sepah has transformed significantly. The text explores how this group transitioned from a defensive force into one of the most influential political, ideological, military, and economic players in the country. Readers will learn about the diverse roles the Sepah plays, including its involvement in indoctrination apparatus, training programs, and system welfare provisions. This book provides essential context for anyone studying the shifting power structures and the complex role of military organizations within the modern Iranian state.
