    The 1979 Islamic Revolution triggered a cold war between Iran and the United States—former fast friends. Despite the US's relentless efforts at containment, Iran has risen as a formidable power in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, and Gaza. Its newfound status not only frustrates the US but has swiftly become a thorn in the side of Israel and Saudi Arabia. How did Iran rise so rapidly? And as it faces ever increasing pressure at home and abroad, can it hold onto its power? Mohsen Milani guides us through the twists and turns of the Iran–US rivalry in the battlefields of the Middle East. Going from the fall of the Shah to revolutionary Iran's alliances with Syria, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iraqi militias, and the Houthis in the Axis of Resistance, Milani lifts the veil on Iran's foreign policy strategy and its implications for the region, the US, and Iran itself.

    "A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy" is a work by Karl Marx, which he wrote in 1859. This work serves as a precursor to his more famous and extensive work, "Das Kapital." In this earlier work, Marx explores key concepts and ideas that later form the basis of his critique of capitalist society. 
    In this text, Marx delves into the economic and social structures of his time, examining the fundamental principles of political economy. He critiques various economic theories and thinkers, providing insights into his evolving thoughts on capitalism, labor, and the relationships between different classes in society. While not as comprehensive as "Das Kapital," this work lays the groundwork for Marx's later analyses and remains an essential piece for understanding his economic and philosophical perspectives.
