Faith and Firepower: The Iranian Revolutionary Guards and the Iran-Iraq War

Open to the Public

This seminar will examine how Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) has analyzed the Iran-Iraq War (1980–1988) in its publications on the conflict. It will explain the pervasive and persistent significance of the Iran-Iraq War for the IRGC and will reveal how scholarly oversight of the IRGC's representations of the war has produced inaccurate and oversimplified generalizations about the organization.

Please join us! Coffee and tea provided. Everyone is welcome, but admittance will be on a first come–first served basis.
