Focusing on Ahmad Moftizadeh, a nonviolent religious leader of Iran's Kurds during the Iranian Revolution, the book reveals his significant yet overlooked role amidst the shifting religious and identity landscapes of the modern Middle East. Through firsthand accounts, it explores the interactions with key figures like Ayatollah Khomeini and examines the roots of contemporary conflict and extremism. By situating Moftizadeh's story within the broader historical context post-World War I, the author presents compelling insights and policy arguments for addressing the region's ongoing turmoil.
