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.

Cotton Panty - Very Comfortable
Size: Medium, Color: A-multicolor(6 Pack)
It’s really good. The best part is that it’s cotton-based, so it’s super comfortable and works really well as a period panty. The only thing I’d change is the lace it starts to get a bit frayed after washing and doesn’t shrink quite right, so it ends up looking more like a basic hipster panty. Other than that, the color variety is great.

Comfy but holes.
Size: Large, Color: A-multicolor(6 Pack)
Comfy and cute - holes and falling apart already. Im not sure if I just got a bad batch/pair, but the seam at the crotch connecting to the "gusset" is detaching in the black one... I really liked them too. Only worn them like 2 or 3 times, so now im worried about wearing the others.

Not full coverage
Size: Medium, Color: A-multicolor(6 Pack)
These are not full coverage and are the cheapest underwear in every way. The fabric is rough, and the seams around the edges of the leg openings are exposed. I ordered medium for my 28" waist and 38" hips. They fit... except for the buttcheek debut. I gave them to my 12 year old daughter to wear because she's not picky. Plus, they were cheap. She's happy. I'm still searching for full coverage undies. Update: The seller reached out regarding my review, and I'm impressed with their customer service. The cotton softened up upon washing and drying (no sand paper undies), and my daughter is very pleased with them.
