Reviews

"Roham Alvandi's aim as editor of this book is to write Iran into global history; in other words, to examine the history of the Pahlavi regime within the transnational context, considering that Iran under the Pahlavis was, according to Alvandi, for the first time experiencing what he calls 'global interconnectedness'. . . . This is a timely and insightful work, providing a rich and fresh account of how Iran engaged with the globalising world."-- "English Historical Review"
