Fault Lines of Power: Revisiting Revolutions from Tehran to Moscow

Revolutions begin with dreams of freedom — and often end in the shadow of power reclaimed. In King of Kings, bestselling historian Scott Anderson delivers a gripping chronicle of the Iranian Revolution, exposing the hubris, delusion, and catastrophic miscalculations that toppled a monarchy and reshaped global politics. Anderson examines how revolutions rise and regress, how gender and ideology shape national destiny, and what history reveals about the volatile fault lines of power that continue to define our world today.
