How and why did a country, never richer, never more educated, its women never more liberated erupt in a fundamentalist revolution? The answer can be found in the enthralling life and tragic death of one man.Amir Abbas Hoveyda was a central figure in the historic struggle between modernity and tradition in Iran -- a struggle pitting Western cosmopolitanism against Persian isolationism, secularism against religious fundamentalism, and ultimately civil society and democracy against authoritarianism.The Persian Sphinx is biography at its most powerful and reads like a modern-day Shakespearean tragedy. It will reward the general reader and the scholar alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52342338978080,"sku":"USED0934211612","price":78.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/410WFZACVHL.jpg?v=1789170654","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-persian-sphinx-amir-abbas-hoveyda-and-the-riddle-of-the-iranian-revolution-0934211612-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
