A timely and influential study of Iran on the eve of the 1979 Revolution. Fred Halliday examines Iranian society, the Pahlavi state, oil and industry, the working class, repression, political opposition, foreign relations and the future of the regime. Written just as Iran was undergoing major political upheaval, the book remains a useful historical account of dictatorship, development, capitalism and revolution in modern Iran.
