This review is from: The Iranian Constitutional Revolution, 1906-1911 (Paperback)
I found this book to be highly informative. I did disagree with some of it's conclusions, but the book would be an excellant intro to Iran's constitutional movement for a casual reader and is an excellant resourse for a more serious reader.
