Customer Reviews

Methodical. Analytical. Many Sources Uncited Elsewhere.

Dr. Milani's treatment is methodical, deeply analytical and cites many sources which have not been referenced in other books in English. While Keddie's 'Roots of Revolution' reaches similar conclusions wrt 1977-79, and Kamrava's 'Revolution In Iran' stands as a distinct analysis, neither dissects the events of this period and documents it to the extent done in this book. I am yet to find a more informative book.
