مقدمه ای بر انقلاب اسلامی الفارسية 1396

An Introduction to the Islamic Revolution examines the Islamic Revolution and the conditions that led to this revolution. However, most of the books and works that have been published about the Islamic Revolution of Iran can be summarized as an indictment against the regime of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. The former king is accused of implementing policies at the behest of his foreign masters (the Americans and the British) during his 37-year reign, which destroyed agriculture, and industry, and prevented the country from progressing. At the same time, the Westerners were stealing the country's rich resources, including our oil. On the other hand, the cultural policies of that regime were aimed at fighting Islam and negating the national and authentic culture of the Iranian people and instead promoted Western culture and cultural dependence on foreigners. Of course, America, which was worried about the loss of its interests in the region, supported the Shah until the end during the Islamic Revolution, but despite all the massacres, planning the coup, and other actions of the Shah and the Americans, the revolution won. This book pours cold water on many of the above ideas. The book, an introduction to the Islamic Revolution, shows that the former Shah was not a mere pawn and servant of foreign powers, including the United States and England, nor were the policies he implemented dictated by London and Washington. Although it is hard for us to accept it. By the way, he had a degree of independence. He neither had any particular enmity with Islam nor did he seek to destroy Islam in Iran. The most important thing here is his relationship with Westerners especially with America. The book shows that neither the opinion that the Americans supported the former king during the revolution and until the end is correct, nor the opposite that is promoted by the supporters of the Pahlavi regime and the opponents of the revolution. In this book, Ziba Kalam has undoubtedly questioned many of the established beliefs about the regime of the former Shah and how the Islamic Revolution was formed.
