"America and Iran" is the title of a book by John Ghazvinian. According to Wikipedia, the author was born in Iran in 1974, and when he was one year old, his family moved to England. Therefore, he was not in Iran during the revolution of 1978-79, beside of the fact that he was too little to experience it then, regardless. As a journalist, however, he might have been interested in learning and writing about one of the 20th century revolutions that changed the shape of the Middle East forever; especially that the revolution occurred in the land he was born in.
