"Iran, a thousand-year-old civilization facing the Western coalition: a resistance rooted in history", offers a detailed analysis of Iran's identity, strategy and resilience through the ages. The author first traces the ancient history of Iranian civilization, highlighting its greatness and its cultural and religious continuity, which are the pillars of its present-day legitimacy. He then explores how this civilization forged a power strategy, notably through national reconstruction, the preservation of its religious and cultural values, and the acquisition of nuclear weapons as a means of deterrence. Finally, it highlights Iran's ability to overcome its historical suffering, through a collective memory of destruction and resistance, to be continually reborn, strengthened by a "historical karma" that continues to fuel its determination. In sum, this book offers essential reading for understanding Iran's current posture, not only as a geopolitical player, but also as a resilient civilization, deeply rooted in a history of greatness and rebirth.
