Summary: "While Ayatollah Khomeini is considered the face of the Islamic Revolution of Iran in 1979, Ali Shari'ati is considered a much greater influence on shaping the revolutionary consciousness than Khomeini.

Ali Shari'ati and the Shaping of Political Islam in Iran tells the story of how Shari'ati developed a language of political Islam, speaking in an idiom intelligible to the Iranian public, and subverting the Shah's regime and its claim to legitimacy"--
