This book tells that story. It revisits the debates of 1979-not as dusty history, but as the living blueprint of Iran's present. It shows how dreams of pluralism were narrowed into dogma, how constitutions meant to restrain power instead entrenched it, and how a revolution that began with promises of freedom built, brick by brick, one of the most enduring systems of clerical rule in the modern Middle East.
