This study explains how and why spiritual leader and Shi‘ite jurist Muhammad Kazim Khurasani led a faction of Iranian clerics to enable modernists and reformers in the Iranian Constitutional Revolution (1906-1911). After providing details on the alliance of secular constitutionalists and Shi‘ite supporters of the constitutional movement in Iran, the book provides appendices of 1907 documents, a chronology from 1501 to 1914, and a list of papers presented at a 2011 conference, as well as black and white historical photos.
