• Fareed Zakaria: “This week's "Book of the Week" is "The Ayatollah's Democracy." It's by a Hooman Majd, a past GPS guest. As we think about what to do about Iran, I would encourage people to take the time to read this book. The most vivid insider's account of the country. Beautifully written and intelligently argued, let's know something about Iran before we decide that we're going to bomb it.”
