Islamic Revolution in Iran | V. S. Naipaul | Bookcast #143

The Iranian Revolution, locally known as the Islamic Revolution was a series of events that culminated in the overthrow of the Pahlavi dynasty under Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, and the replacement of his government with an Islamic republic under the leadership of Ayatollah Khomeini. Naipaul captures the immediate change in Iranian landscape right after the revolution in his book Among the Believers. I read out a few pages from the book for you in this podcast.
