The New York Times - Azadeh Moaveni

The power and immediacy of Death to the Dictator!, the modern sequel to Ryszard Kapuscinski's Shah of Shahs, come from…crucial moments when Iranians decide whether to abandon hope or ultimately risk their lives…Moqadam writes with an authoritative, granular understanding of Iranian society, especially the sociology of its urban youth. The author distills important political context and frictions of class, faith and worldview into lean vignettes.
