Description: Revolution, reform, and reaction comprise the respective fortunes of modern Iran, Turkey and Egypt. This volume attributes the different outcomes to the power struggle between the military, security, and political institutions. Royal ascendency in Iran made it vulnerable to revolution; military dominance in Turkey ushered democracy; and Egypt's police state produced entrenched authoritarianism.
