The First President

Years ago, the people of Iran went to the polls to elect the country’s first president. The significance of this event stemmed from the fact that it took place in the aftermath of the collapse of the long-standing monarchical system worldwide. For the people and the revolutionary leadership, who would become Iran’s first president was a matter of considerable reflection. The five conversations presented in this book are the result of the concerns of a group of young people during those turbulent years: youths who managed the secretariat of the Islamic Republic’s Revolutionary Council. Through the contents of this book, readers will become familiar with the perspectives, political atmosphere, and ideological divisions prevailing at that time, uncovering many untold and unwritten stories. The importance of this book lies in the insight it provides about the eventual fate of Iran’s first president.
