Praise for this Book
"A rare collection of valuable articles that help explain the complex and widely misunderstood nature of the society, politics, and economics of the Islamic Republic of Iran." - James A. Bill, College of William and Mary

"The originality of these essays lies in the fact that their authors have effectively combined their considerable interpretive skills with a deep concern for the direction of revolutionary Iran. This distinction alone qualifies the volume as a unique contribution to the literature of the Iranian revolution." -Mansour Farhang, Bennington College
