Acclaimed journalist Robin Wright meticulously describes the ongoing transformation of Iranian society, politics and religion that ranges from the empowerment of women to the blossoming of a movie industry and an independent press.
“An exceptional contribution to the understanding of a mysterious and much maligned nation" —The Washington Post
Robin Wright has reported from over 120 countries for many leading news organizations, but her perceptive coverage of Iran has garnered her the most respect and praise among her colleagues.
She demonstrates why Iran's Islamic revolution equals the French and Russian revolutions in new ideas and impact, while standing alone as "the last great revolution" of the modern era.
“Wright’s reporting is comprehensive and meticulous… The Last Great Revolution is an exceptional contribution to the understanding of a mysterious and much maligned nation.” –The Washington Post
"Wright succeeds both in presenting a reasoned critique of a climactic 20th century event and in making us sympathize with a people struggling to grasp the slippery veins of history.” –The New York Times Book Review
