The book consists of two chapters, and each chapter is divided to two main sections. The first chapter of the book is a brief narration and interpretation of the incidents before and after the Iranian Presidential Election in 2009, of which the author has been a witness. In this chapter, the formation of Green Movement in Iran and the following incidents are examined based on the author’s observations.
In the second chapter of the book, the author examines the theoretical and strategic weaknesses of the Green Movement of Iran which lead the movement to failure against the country’s religious autocracy.
