‘”The Shah, the Islamic Revolution and the United States,’ offers a fresh perspective on the Shah of Iran’s rule and skillfully explains how the historical events that followed continue to shape Iran today. Working with previously untapp archival materials, Bayandor examines the sophisticated and often complex dynamics between domestic and international affairs in Iran.” (Kayhan Life, kayhanlife.com, February, 14 , 2019)
“Darioush Bayandor has produced a well-documented and highly readable account of the unforeseen and unexpected overthrow of the Iranian monarchy. Casting aside conspiracy theories and ideologies, he provides a balanced, unbiased account of the larger-than-life figures who shaped (and were shaped by) these momentous events.” (Ambassador John Limbert, Distinguished Professor of International Affairs at the U.S. Naval Academy and author of Negotiating with Iran: Wrestling the Ghosts of History)
“Darioush Bayandor is known for writing books that shake up consensus by pointing to plain facts. With this excellent book he does it again, reconsidering the origins and course of the revolution of 1979 in Iran, on the basis of painstaking research. Everyone should read it.” (Michael Axworthy, Director of the Institute of Persian and Iranian Studies, University of Exeter, U.K., and author of A History of Iran: Empire of the Mind and Revolutionary Iran)
