This work will be particularly useful in the West where it is universally believed that the revolution of 1979 was a movement of Islamic fundamentalists led by the Ayatollah Khomeini to push Iran back to the 6th century. This view has been assiduously spread by the Establishment which has a vested interest in discrediting the very idea of revolution in the minds of the working class of the west. It is, in fact, a vicious lie. There is a rich historical background, including much material which will be unfamiliar to western readers who are unfortunately unacquainted with the marvellous achievements of the civilisations of the east, particularly Persia which has made a tremendous contribution to human culture, art and science, in addition to its rich and inspiring revolutionary history.By Dr. Zayar Dedicated to the heroic youth of Iran, who rose up on 8 July 1999 against the tyranny of the mullahs and shook the regime to its rotten foundations, inspiring the workers and youth of the whole world.This book represents an important contribution to our understanding of the Iranian revolution.
