Revolutionary Iran: A History of the Islamic RepublicIn 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

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.

It will make you smile
Format: Kindle
Just an all around pleasant read. I enjoyed the interplay between the two main characters and watching their relationship evolve. There was never a doubt about where the story was headed, and that's ok. Happy endings are a good thing!

Fun, joy filled, quick read
Format: Kindle
This story brings together people who need to evaluate where they want to go in life and they are surprised to find that they don’t need to go far to find fulfillment, a great place to live, and a great person as a partner. This is a sweet, quick read to bring hope and joy in the holiday season as the two protagonists end up helping a whole town while finding themselves.

A nice story
Format: Kindle
I liked enough to read the book all the way through. It was a really slow burn without even a kiss till the last few pages. It seemed to be a sort of contrived Christmas magic story and not a real romance. I wouldn't read it again.

It takes a community
Format: Kindle
A beautiful depiction of Celeste and Natalie’s journey to discovering their true purpose. Natalie began as a thorn in Celeste’s side and ended up being her true soul mate. I loved Celeste’s family tradition of feeding those less fortunate. One recipient’s, Sean, life was transformed into a productive and joyful one. It was beautiful. You could see Celeste’s heart, even though she tried to keep it secluded behind walls. Natalie brought the joy of the holiday spirit to Celeste and once she acquiesced to supporting Natalie’s vision, it was transformative in the entire community. A very good, sweet read. I unequivocally, heartily, and enthusiastically recommend this and any other works by TB Markinson and Miranda MacLeod. I own most of them and have never been disappointed. Thank you Peace
