• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

From the blood-drenched battlefields of the Iran-Iraq War to the political cataclysms that redefined the Middle East, The Longest War: Saddam's Fall to Khomeini's Rise tells the gripping story of two men whose destinies collided in a conflict that would shape the modern Islamic world.

This riveting narrative dissects the rise of Ayatollah Khomeini and the fall of Saddam Hussein, tracing the ideological, religious, and geopolitical forces that brought their regimes to power and ultimately to ruin. With unmatched historical detail and dramatic intensity, this book captures the ferocity of the war, the betrayals of international alliances, the horrors of chemical warfare, and the brutal legacy left behind.

Far more than a military chronicle, The Longest War dives deep into the psychology of leadership, exploring how Saddam's secular Arab nationalism clashed violently with Khomeini's revolutionary Shi'a fundamentalism. Their rivalry ignited a war that lasted eight devastating years, killed over a million people, and plunged the region into a new era of conflict.

Through declassified intelligence, personal testimonies, and geopolitical analysis, this book unveils the hidden dimensions of the war-including U.S. and Soviet involvement, the economic manipulation by Western oil powers, and the weaponization of ideology as a tool of mass mobilization.

For readers of modern history, political intrigue, and Middle Eastern affairs, this is not just a story of war; it is a story of transformation, collapse, and the enduring power of belief in shaping empires.

Autorenporträt

I'm Borna Ahadi, a writer drawn to the hidden stories behind the headlines and the forgotten voices of history. My passion lies in exploring the complexity of human characterwhether in the corridors of power, on the battlefield, or in the quiet moments that shape destiny. I write to uncover truth, provoke thought, and connect the past to our present in a way that feels alive and urgent. Every book I create is a journeynot just through time, but into the heart of what it means to lead, to fail, and to rise again. If you're someone who questions, reflects, and craves deeper understanding, you're exactly who I write for.
