Revolutionary Iran. A History of the Islamic Republic. Second Edition (okładka  miękka, wyd. 06.2019)

FULLY UPDATED SECOND EDITION `If you were to read only one book on present-day Iran you could not do better than this` Ervand Abrahamian, Times Higher Education For some 40 years the Islamic Republic has resisted widespread condemnation, sanctions, and sustained attacks by Iraq in an eight-year war. Many policy-makers today share a weary wish that Iran would somehow just disappear as a problem. But with Iran`s continuing commitment to a nuclear programme and its reputation as a trouble-maker in Syria, Afghanistan, Lebanon and elsewhere, this is unlikely any time soon. An unending stream of assertions about the revolution`s finally running down continue to be defied by events, and Iran`s institutions are still formidable. This is the definitive history of this subject, from one of the world`s principal experts.
