The Last Great Revolution: Turmoil and Transformation in Iran
About this ebook
“An exceptional contribution to the understanding of a mysterious and much maligned nation" —The Washington Post
Robin Wright has reported from over 120 countries for many leading news organizations, but her perceptive coverage of Iran has garnered her the most respect and praise among her colleagues.
She demonstrates why Iran's Islamic revolution equals the French and Russian revolutions in new ideas and impact, while standing alone as "the last great revolution" of the modern era.
