Produktbeschreibung

There is no common understanding, among intellectual
Iranians and non-Iranians familiar with the history
of Iran, regarding the effect of the modern Iranian
leaders on the current situation of Iran. Although
Iran introduced the first democratic constitution in
the Middle East a century ago, the people of Iran
today are living under a theocratic regime. The book
analyses the styles of leadership of 6 political
leaders who illustrate, Iran''s path from initial
fragile democracy to the present theocracy. The
history of Iran in the 20th century may be divided
into six eras, each generating its own influential
leader: 1906-1911, Sheikh Mohammad, Khiabani;
1912-1921, Colonel Mohammad Taghi Pesian; 1921-1941,
Reza Shah Pahlavi; 1941-1953, Dr. Mohammad Mossadegh;
1953-1978, Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi; and 1978-1989,
Ayattollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
The book helps to explain the history of Iran during
the 20th century and the roles of the 6 leaders
influencing the current situation of Iran. The book
will be useful to people interested in the modern
history of Iran and the study of political
leadership, as well as to anyone wishing to learn
more about Iran and the Middle East.
