Since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Iran has been building a sprawling web of regional allies - from Hezbollah in Lebanon to Shiite militias in Iraq, the Houthis in Yemen, and Hamas in Gaza - all aimed at challenging what they see as a US-led regional order and Israel's military supremacy. But, after decades of expansion, has this alliance - the Axis of Resistance - reached its breaking point?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this path-breaking book, leading foreign policy analyst Hamidreza Azizi traces the rise, transformation, and fragmentation of the Axis, from its roots in local resistance movements to its peak under Qasem Soleimani and its involvement in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The network now faces an existential threat. As regional dynamics continue to unfold, Azizi situates the Axis in its broader ideological and strategic context and examines competing visions for regional order in the Middle East. \u003ci\u003eThe Axis of Resistance\u003c\/i\u003e offers a vital guide to one of the most consequential and misunderstood political-military alliances in contemporary international affairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hamidreza Azizi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 150956800X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509568000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/14\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Hamidreza Azizi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48621632651519,"sku":"9781509568000","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8f872e43-764f-494b-8b30-3de9d55bb55c.jpg?v=1780426229","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-axis-of-resistance-hamidreza-azizi-9781509568000","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
