This book is about a subject sensitive to Iranian people. The People's Mojahedin of Iran is mirroring, in many ways, the human condition, its greatness and faults. It started out as an idealistic, revolutionary organization and ended up in treason and as a personality cult. In the meantime, thousands of its members sacrificed for the cause.
I believe that Abrahamian does justice to his subject and allows even me, who did not have a serious previous knowledge of the subject, to understand it. Abrahamian's look is sympathetic, as always regarding Iran, but impartial, I believe.
