520    "In Revolutionary Iran, Michael Axworthy guides us through
       recent Iranian history from shortly before the 1979 
       Islamic revolution through the summer of 2009, when 
       Iranians poured into the streets of Tehran by the hundreds
       of thousands, demanding free, democratic government. 
       Axworthy explains how that outpouring of support for an 
       end to tyranny in Iran paused and then moved on to other 
       areas in the region like Egypt and Libya, leaving Iran's 
       leadership unchanged. The Iranian Revolution of 1979 was a
       defining moment of the modern era. Its success unleashed a
       wave of Islamist fervor across the Middle East and 
       signaled a sharp decline in the appeal of Western 
       ideologies in the Islamic world. Axworthy takes readers 
       through the major periods in Iranian history over the last
       thirty years: the overthrow of the old regime and the 
       creation of the new one; the Iran-Iraq war; the 
       reconstruction era following the war; the reformist wave 
       led by Mohammed Khatami; and the present day, in which 
       reactionaries have re-established control. Throughout, he 
       emphasizes that the Iranian revolution was centrally 
       important in modern history because it provided the world 
       with a clear model of development that was not rooted in 
       Western ideologies. Whereas the world's major revolutions 
       of the previous two centuries had been fuelled by Western,
       secular ideologies, the Iranian Revolution drew its 
       inspiration from Islam. Revolutionary Iran is both richly 
       textured and from one of the leading authorities on the 
       region; combining an expansive scope with the most 
       accessible and definitive account of this epoch in all its
       humanity"--|cProvided by publisher.
