"An original interpretation that puts Iranian actors where they
belong: at center stage."-Michael Doran, Wall Street
Journal
"Books on twentieth century Iran abound, but none deliver the
substance or the insight that Ray Takeyh does. For the clearest
view of Iran for the last 100 years, this book is it."-Marvin
Zonis, author of Majestic Failure: The Fall of the Shah
"Ray Takeyh's astute and provocative study of the last Shah of Iran
sheds new light on the Cold-War foreign policy of the United
States, the impact of individual personalities on the course of
history, and the causes of the Iranian Revolution of 1979, with
which the world has now had to live for more than four
decades."-Michael Mandelbaum, author of The Rise and Fall of
Peace on Earth
"Ray Takeyh has compellingly written the prequel to the Islamic
Republic of Iran's forty-year confrontation with the United States.
He tells this fascinating story with unmatched perspicacity and
insight all while restoring the agency of Iranian participants in
this frequently tragic tale. Anyone who wants to understand the
current impasse with Iran will have to come to grips with the
arguments he makes and the issues he illuminates."-Eric Edelman,
former U.S. Ambassador to Turkey and Under Secretary of Defense for
Policy, 2005-2009
