A spellbinding narrative history of the 1979 Iranian Revolution and its devastating consequences by the Sunday Times bestselling author of Lawrence in Arabia.

'Authoritative, well-reported and elegantly written... If you want to understand the turmoil in Gaza, Syria and beyond, the Iranian Revolution of 1979 is a good place to start.'The Times'Excellent' Telegraph'Brilliant' Financial Times'Good and worthwhile... From the Middle East to the war in Ukraine, the world is still experiencing the aftershocks of the fall of the shah, and it’s not over yet'John Simpson, Guardian'The most compelling account yet of the revolution in Iran... Outstanding'Eugene Rogan, author of The Fall of the Ottomans'Thrilling... the gold standard account of the Shah’s fall... An epic and heart-breaking tragedy'Azadeh Moaveni, author of Guest House for Young WidowsBefore the revolution, the Shah of Iran seemed invincible. The world watched in awe as he commanded a huge army and oversaw an economy awash with billions of dollars of oil revenues. The regime’s secret police had crushed communist opposition and the Shah appeared to have bought off the conservative Muslim clergy inside the country. On the international stage, Iran had become an invaluable ally to the West during the Cold War.

But village streets spoke of a different country – people derided the Shah as an American lackey and blamed him for economic inequality, for spending recklessly on lavish parties and for ignoring the Muslim majority. When a volcanic religious revolution erupted, led by a fiery cleric named Ayatollah Khomeini, the Shah was forced off the throne and into exile. How did it all go so wrong?Brilliantly brought to life by the Sunday Times bestselling author Scott Anderson, this gripping behind-the-scenes narrative reveals how the Iranian Revolution was as world-shattering an event as the French and Russian revolutions, and how its repercussions are still felt around the world today. In the Middle East, in India, in Southeast Asia, and now in Europe and the United States, the hatred of economically-marginalized, religiously-fervent masses for a wealthy secular elite has led to violence and upheaval – and Iran was the template.

Great price, very cute
Color: White
I purchased this cabinet for the laundry room. Overall it's a great product, especially for the price. I put it together by myself and it took about 30 minutes. It does come with all the hardware you need to install but I used my own hammer as it got the job done quicker. I would caution that mine came with a lot of sawdust. I ended up using the backboard for a dust collector and then ending up cleaning it at the end before install. The size is great for what I need.

Satisfied buyer
Color: White
Easy to install and hang. Material are nice and definitely look more expensive than the price. Good size but not great; suitable for jars bottles/toiletries. Not big enough for towels or thick hand towels.

Primed. Not painted!!
Color: White, Color: White
Pros: price is good. Seems sturdy enough. Size is nice. Easy to hang on wall. Cons: be prepared to paint this cabinet. it’s primed only. There is no finish coat. Looks kinda rough, Dirty and unfinished. A coat of paint will fix this issue. Install was a breeze until I got to the backing of the cabinet. You have to nail 20 finish nails with this dinky little hammer that’s provided. I was actually cracking up laughing the whole time cause it felt so silly. Took a long time with the toy hammer… once I got my real hammer all was well.
