Media Reviews
If one has only limited time to gain an appreciation of the revolutionary force of Islam in Iran, it should be spent here. Scott Armstrong, Washington Post Book World A work of excellent scholarship and rare impartiality. John Renard, America Keddie has a strong grasp of historical material. She displays a characteristically impressive capacity for compression and consolidation of recent historical research. Shaul Bakhash, New York Review of Books For three decades, Nikki Keddie has been one of the most perceptive, sensitive, and insightful analysts of Iran. Providing information about a region where instant experts are the norm, Keddie's work has always been profoundly important and has had a major impact on the way Iranians think about themselves. Ahmed Rashid, author of Jihad: The Rise of Militant Islam in Central Asia and Taliban
