King Of Kings by Scott Anderson
The Iranian Revolution—A Story of Hubris, Delusion and Catastrophic Miscalculation
King of Kings examines the collapse of Iran’s Pahlavi monarchy in the late 1970s and the rise of a religious revolution led by Ayatollah Khomeini. Through archival research and interviews, the book traces the Shah’s rule, the social and political tensions inside Iran, and the miscalculations of American policymakers that helped set the stage for a dramatic transformation in Iranian and regional politics.
