England, Oneworld Academic, 2025. 420p. In 1953, Iran was at loggerheads with the US and UK, after Prime Minister Mossadeq nationalised Iran’s oil reserves. By 1968, under the autocratic rule of the Shah, Iran was a booming export economy, benefiting from high oil prices and consumer demand. It had unambiguously become a modern industrial economy. Sifting through primary and secondary sources, Ali Rahnema charts Iran’s progress in this vital fifteen-year period. He asks, who can claim the credit? And who bears the blame for its critical failures? ddc BK 758976 758976 0 0 ddc 0 0 ISL ISL CART 2026-04-24 0 955.053 RAH ISL8434 2026-04-24 11:26:08 2026-04-24 BK
