For a brief period in the early 1950s, Iranian nationalism
captured the world's attention as, under the leadership of Mohammad
Mossadeq, the Iranian National Movement tried to liberate Iran from
British imperialism. Regarding nationalism as a major determinant
of the attitudes and loyalties of those who embrace it, Cottam
analyzes the complex religious, national, and social values at work
within Iran and examines, more generally, the turbulence of
nationalism in developing states and its perplexing problems for
American foreign policy.
In a new 40-page chapter, added in 1978, Cottam updated his
pioneering study by examining the condition of Iran fifteen years
after his first analysis-from its rapid economic growth as an oil
producer to Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi's unsuccessful efforts to
rouse nationalistic sentiment in his favor.
