A major new history of revolutionary Iran, from the 1940s to the present
Iran's revolution in 1979 shook the world. The Pahlavi dynasty came crashing down, and the Islamic Republic rose in its place. But what led to this seismic event? How did the revolutionary movement gain such strength? And what has its legacy been for modern Iran?
In this comprehensive history, Homa Katouzian explores Iran from the 1940s to the present, showing how the revolution came into being. From the chaos of oil nationalisation to the overthrow of Mosaddeq in 1953, through the revolutionary moment itself, to the resistance movements of contemporary Iran, the revolution has had long and lasting effects. We see the profound influence of US presidents and the ramifications of Saddam Hussein's invasion in 1980. Crucially, Katouzian shows how the revolution constituted an uprising of the whole of Iranian society and was not a purely Islamic movement.
This is an engaging account of an epochal event—one which continues to shape Iran to this day.

For those who may have missed recent events: the switch to premium-only links on Nitroflare was not a decision made by the site administration or the post uploaders. This change was implemented by the file hosting service itself.
We know many of our regular users still use Nitroflare and have active subscriptions, so we won't be removing it. However, we do plan to update our posting rules for uploaders in the near future to better adapt to the situation.
