"The first major book on the revolution that set Iran ablaze—when one woman's death sparked a movement that won't be silenced."

The ideal, go-to text for general readers seeking to better understand what is happening in Iran, who is protesting and what they hope to achieve. Arash Azizi is a historian and the author of The Shadow Commander: Soleimani, the US, and Iran’s Global Ambitions. He is a contributing writer for The Atlantic. He has written for numerous publications, including the New York Times, Washington Post, Newsweek, New Lines Magazine, Toronto Star and Jacobin, and several of his book-length translations have appeared in Iran and elsewhere. This is the FIRST comprehensive book on these historic uprisings that captivated global media. Azizi takes readers inside Iran's most notorious prison, to mass strikes in Kurdistan, and onto streets where ordinary Iranians risk everything for freedom.
