Iranian Revolution: A Profile

By Waheed uz Zaman

The Iranian Revolution was a mass upsurge that totally transformed Iran by bringing together practically every section of the society to replace the secular Pahlavi monarchy and overthrow the entire political, cultural, economic, and social apparatus that, in one form or another, had persisted for more than two thousand years. In this book, Waheed-uz-Zaman comments on the revolution as it passes through various phases, surveys the salient developments during Pahlavi's rule up to the end of 1977, examines the open confrontation between the ruling elite and revolutionary elements until the overthrow of the monarchy and return of Khomeini, studies factors and forces that facilitated the success of the revolutionary upheaval, elaborates on the democratic process, looks into the dramatic development of the seizure of the American embassy, and, lastly, analyzes the power struggle that started after the success of the revolution. The book is an essential reading for all students and scholars interested in the topic.
