This essential account explores the key role played by the Guard in Iranian society, the economy, and national politics as well as its military value. Mark Urban, military historian and author of Task Force Black: The Explosive True Story of the SAS and the Secret War in Iraq “Steven O’Hern’s definitive history of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard lays out in chilling detail the blatant acts of terrorism perpetrated with impunity by this group worldwide over three decades. This book is especially timely considering Iran is on the cusp of attaining nuclear weapons and because the ideology-driven IRGC will be the organization to use them. It is an impressive work that highlights the need for America to wake up before it’s too late.”—Col. Timothy J. Geraghty, USMC (Ret.), author of Peacekeepers at War: Beirut 1983—The Marine Commander Tells His Story “Steven O’Hern has crafted an essential primer for policymakers on the grave and growing threat posed by Iran’s push into Latin America. Even in a post-9/11 world, our national security establishment has underestimated the asymmetrical threat thrust into our neighborhood by Iran’s dangerous alliances with hostile regimes. O’Hern provides operational details on the unconventional offensive launched in the Americas by Iran’s most radical security force and terrorist proxy. This book sounds a call for action. If our intelligence and security agencies study O’Hern’s work, we might be spared the terrible cost of years of neglect.”—Amb. Roger Noriega, visiting fellow, American Enterprise Institute; former assistant secretary of state for Western Hemisphere affairs; and former U.S. Permanent Representative to the Organization of American States “The study of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard could hardly be a more urgent priority for policymakers, students of foreign affairs, and those with an interest in the Middle East.
