About this ebook

""Iranian Regime"" explores the dramatic transformation of Iran from a modernizing monarchy to a theocratic state in 1979, a pivotal moment that continues to shape global politics. The book delves into the complex factors that led to the Iranian Revolution, examining the fall of Shah Pahlavi, the rise of Ayatollah Khomeini, and the establishment of the Islamic Republic. It highlights the unique confluence of events that allowed Khomeini to seize power, arguing that his ascent was not inevitable but the result of strategic maneuvering and sociopolitical circumstances.

Central to the book's narrative is the often-overlooked experience of religious minorities, particularly Christians, under the new regime. This focus provides a distinctive lens through which to understand the broader implications of Iran's political transformation. The author draws on a wide range of primary and secondary sources, including declassified documents and firsthand accounts, to present a comprehensive analysis of this tumultuous period.

Structured chronologically, the book progresses from the final days of the Shah's rule through Khomeini's return and the consolidation of the Islamic Republic. It contextualizes these events within the Cold War era, illustrating how global dynamics influenced the revolution and its aftermath.

By blending scholarly rigor with engaging storytelling, ""Iranian Regime"" offers valuable insights for academics, policymakers, and general readers seeking to understand Iran's recent history and its enduring impact on current geopolitics.
