What did the Russian revolution of 1917 and the Iranian
revolution of 1978-1979 share besides their drama? How can we
compare a revolution led by Lenin with one inspired by Khomeini?
How is a revolution based primarily on the urban working class
similar to one founded to a significant degree on traditional
groups like the bazaaris, small craftsmen, and religious students
and preachers? Identifying a distinctive route to
modernity--autocratic modernization--Tim McDaniel explores the
dilemmas inherent in the efforts of autocratic monarchies in Russia
and Iran to transform their countries into modern industrial
societies.
Originally published in 1993.
