Extract

Maziar Behrooz has stated that the goal of his study is twofold: first, to document the history of communism in Iran during the thirty years between the 1953 coup and 1983, “when the last legal communist organizations were banned”; and second, “to provide an analysis of how and why the movement disintegrated in the 1980s.” (p. xv)
