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 Chair
I was needing an affordable ergo chair and have tried quite a few. For this price range, you can't beat the quality of this piece. Adjustable lumbar support, arm rest height perfect and cushioned. The head piece is nice, but just not for me. Nicely rocks for those who can't sit still. Easy to assemble by yourself (~20 min) using common sense. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is the seat is made more for someone wider, as I someone feel like my hips are dipping inwards (I am also very narrow). Got a more solid butt pad, and it's perfect. Also! I didn't even need to put on my lumbar support pillow, as the lumbar support is perfect for me! Definitely recommend!

Stylish, Ergonomic
Stylish, ErgonomicI’ve been looking for a white office chair that doesn't just look good but actually supports my back. This chair exceeds expectations! The split-back design provides amazing lumbar support that moves with you. The mesh is breathable and high-quality, and the cushion is firm yet comfortable for long hours of sitting. Setup was straightforward, and the build feels very sturdy. Highly recommend if you want to upgrade your home office setup!

This office chair feels very supportive and comfortable during long hours of work or gaming. The mesh back allows good airflow, and the seat feels wide and stable. The adjustable tilt and armrests make it easier to find a relaxing position. The wheels roll smoothly on the floor.
