Recenzje

'Transcending scholars' focus on causes and outcomes of 1979, this volume simultaneously de-exceptionalizes the revolution and illuminates its specifically Iranian mix of global backgrounds, relationships, and imaginations. Wonderful chapters covering a boy from a small town, the Fedai's Iranization of Brazilian insurgency, Takhti's 1968 funeral, and the IRGC's regional guerilla dimension will inspire Iranian and global historians alike.' Cyrus Schayegh, Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies
