Iran [EPUB ebook] 
Religion, Politics and Society: Collected Essays

First Published in 1983. This book brings together the best of Professor Keddie’s articles on Iran both published and newly written and spans almost two decades. Long before the current religious-political alliance in Iran startled the world and toppled the Shah, Prof.Keddie undertook a series of studies that reveal the social, economic, doctrinal and political roots of what she was the first to call the ‚Religious-Radical‘ alliance in Iran.
