Purchase options and add-ons

At a time when most Westerners fled the carnage in Iran, David Burnett was one of the few to stay and document the breathtakingly sudden fall of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in December 1978, and the chaotic political maneuvering that would culminate in the triumph of the Ayatollahs and the birth of the Islamic Republic.

44 Days re-creates a coup that led to our long hostage crisis, President Jimmy Carter’s political demise, and an enmity still blazing after thirty years. Burnett’s vivid images of the dizzying events and emotions of that turbulent time illustrate his narrative of the monarchy’s destruction, the last-ditch efforts to salvage a secular government, and the establishment of a hard-line regime dominated by religious leaders and the rule of Islamic law. Accompanying Burnett’s account is a penetrating foreword by commentator Christiane Amanpour, herself Iranian-born, as well as an essay by celebrated New York Times reporter John Kifner, who shares his own experience of revolution in Iran and reflects upon its decades-long aftermath.

Filled with powerful insights into the revolution and its pertinence today, this book is for history and current affairs buffs, photography lovers, and everyone interested in the clash of Islamic fundamentalism and the West.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Classic photojournalism
    Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2010

    David Burnett's journey in Iran in documenting the regime change provides a unique photographic perspective on a controversial subject. His portrayal of struggle, tragedy, death and triumph are a beautiful expression of images that represent an important milestone in Iran's turbulent history, especially in the last 35 years.

    Living in the U.S. as an American-Iranian, I was 9 years old when the revolution erupted. By reading many of the photo captions, I relived those dark days and enjoyed reading his eyewitness accounts. I highly recommend Burnett's book for anyone interested in classic news photojournalism. Just from the clarity of the black and white photographs, this book stands out as a must have for photographic enthusiasts.

    This is a great book about a time that was so pivotal for our times now. It was so confusing to me at the time. This volume with its magnificent photos cleared up a lot of gaps in my memory and knowledge about that Iranian crisis. It gave me a better grasp of the problems we are still facing in the middle east today.

    Taken as a whole, this book is not only a remarkable documentation of the fall of Iran to radical Islam, but also an amazing example of classic photojournalism. When paging through the book, the reader will see how Burnett worked on a day by day basis to record history as it happened and to then dig deeper into the story as he gained a deeper understanding of events.

    Really great images and (obviously) a thoroughly engaging topic.

    I bought this on a bit of a whim but have been really impressed with the quality of the images. Top quality photo journalism. Ended up buying another copy as a present for another photographer friend too.
