King of Kings: The Iranian Revolution—A Story of Hubris, Delusion and Catastrophic Miscalculation is a narrative history of Iran’s 1979 revolution that toppled Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and ushered in Ayatollah Khomeini’s Islamic Republic, told with the pacing and character depth that made Anderson’s Lawrence in Arabia a bestseller. Anderson argues the revolution was a contingent cascade of blunders and misreads—by the Shah and especially by U.S. policymakers—and one of the most consequential upheavals of modern times, foreshadowing today’s age of religious nationalism.
