Details

The 1979 revolution left Iran "torn by drastic social changes, invasion, bombing, executions, and assassinations. The Iranian Revolution would also bring Iran and the United States to the brink of war." The events of 1979 were the result of complicated dynamics, both within Iran and internationally. From the CIA-engineered overthrow of prime minister Mosaddeq to the rise of Ayatollah Khomeini to the hostage crisis, Iran's revolution is a compelling story. Maps. Time line. Glossary. Short biographies of key figures. Notes. Selected bibliography. Further reading. Index. Color and black-and-white photographs.
