This review is from: The Mossadegh Era: Roots of the Iranian Revolution (Paperback)

The Mossadegh Era: Roots Of The Iranian Revolution by Sepehr Zabih (Chairman of the Government Department, St. Mary's College, and a Research Scholar at the Institute of International Studies, University of California - Berkeley) is a informed and informed study of recent Iranian history, focusing on the revolutionary leader Dr. Mohammad Mossadegh, his coup over the Shah, and his downfall in during the years 1951-1952. A very sober and insightful political analysis of uprisings, draconian political measures, the employment deadly force, and still echoing repercussions in later revolutions in government and leadership, The Mossadegh Era is strongly recommended as a very serious and fact-oriented account, which is especially appropriate for International Studies and Iranian Political History academic reference collections and supplemental reading lists.
