King of Kings
In 1977, President Carter hailed Iran's Shah as an "island of stability," unaware of the seismic shifts brewing beneath the surface. This gripping narrative unravels the catastrophic miscalculations and hubris that led to the Shah's downfall and the rise of Ayatollah Khomeini's revolution. Scott Anderson masterfully exposes the blind spots of American foreign policy and the potent force of religious nationalism, offering a crucial perspective on the events that continue to shape our world.
