The Unfinished History of the Iran-Iraq War: Faith, Firepower, and Iran's Revolutionary Guards Annie Tracy Samuel (Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 2022). Pp. 320. £75.00 hardback. ISBN: 9781108478427
IRGC differ from other revolutionary militias in how it combined faith and firepower? Were the Revolutionary Guards able to reach a balanced fusion, one that propelled them to the heights of power in Iran ’ s political system? Or did they follow the historically tested path of taming revolutionary passion — tied to Shi ʿ i faith, in this case — in the service of pro-fessionalization? I believe that the IRGC is a rich case for studying this dilemma, and Tracy Samuel ’ s book provides invaluable material for anyone thinking about it
