Product Description
In this revised and expanded second edition, Dr Milani offers insights into the causes and profound consequences of Iran's Islamic revolution. Focusing on developments in Iranian politics during the first five years of the Rafsanjani presidency, the book draws on dozens of personal interviews with Iranian leaders and officials, and on recently released documents. The new issues covered in this edition include Iran's involvement in the Kuwait crisis, President Rafsanjani's reforms and the domestic and foreign policy challenges facing Iran in the post-Cold War era.

Methodical. Analytical. Many Sources Uncited Elsewhere.,
By Dev Null (Toronto, Canada.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Making Of Iran's Islamic Revolution: From Monarchy to Islamic Republic, Second Edition (Paperback)
Dr. Milani's treatment is methodical, deeply analytical and cites many sources which have not been referenced in other books in English. While Keddie's 'Roots of Revolution' reaches similar conclusions wrt 1977-79, and Kamrava's 'Revolution In Iran' stands as a distinct analysis, neither dissects the events of this period and documents it to the extent done in this book. I am yet to find a more informative book.

A Valiant Effort,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Making Of Iran's Islamic Revolution: From Monarchy to Islamic Republic, Second Edition (Paperback)
I had Dr Milani two semesters ago for an International Politics class. I found him to be a rather open minded professor, but in this book he presents a rather one sided argument. Still, for those not familiar with the Islamic Revolution this book may be helpful. I would recommend reading other sources for further information and formulating your own opinions.

A MODEST ATTEMPT,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Making Of Iran's Islamic Revolution: From Monarchy to Islamic Republic, Second Edition (Paperback)
The book was somewhat dry, yet it was informative. Although on the surface the author tried to remain unbiased, it was evident that he was pro-khomeini. There was no mention of the 1000's of people murdered under his authority, especially that of the Bahai's who lived in Iran. Yet the Shah was portrayed as an oppressive ruler who had no regard for his people. Without knowing the actual history of Iran and that of the revolution, this book would be hard to follow.
