We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Socialisms Ignored Success: Iranian Islamic Socialism" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Iran and its unique socialist system is one of the greatest untold, even hidden, stories of our era. Ramin Mazaheris book Socialisms Ignored Success: Iranian Islamic Socialism is a detailed and very serious compilation of the authors analyses, published by various progressive outlets in the West and now re-edited into this powerful and thought-provoking volume. Mazaheri is smashing to pieces our perceptions about Iran - one of the deepest, most fascinating and original cultures on Earth. Many foreigners thought that Iran can be labelled and boxed into established categories. No! writes Mazaheri. Iran can be socialist and religious at the same time. And it can be, and in fact is, on the vanguard of many modern achievements of our humanity. It is a proud, brilliant country which should be listened to, and respected, by all of us. Andre Vltchek

Left - Shapur I's victory relief at Naqsh-e-Rustam - This famous rock carving depicts Roman Emperor Valerian kneeling to ask for mercy from Shapur the Great , the second emperor of the Sasanian dynasty (224-651 AD). Following the destruction of the Roman army at the Battle of Edessa, this was the first and only time a Roman emperor had been taken prisoner. The unprecedented defeat was one of the greatest shocks and disasters in Roman history.
Middle - Imam Mosque of Isfahan - This early 17th century mosque is a national icon and UNESCO heritage site. It is famed for the beauty of its seven-color mosaic tiles and calligraphy. Prior to the revolution it was called Shah Mosque.
Right - Demonstration following the assassination of Qasem Soleimani - The major general in the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps and leader of the Quds (Jerusalem) Force had become a global anti-terror hero for directing the victorious campaign against Western-backed ISIL/Daesh extremists. He was illegally murdered by a US drone in Baghdad on January 3, 2020, sparking global condemnation for Washingtons latest assassination.

Foreword
I ran and its unique socialist system is one of the greatest untold, even hidden, stories of our era. Ramin Mazaheri's book "Socialisms Ignored Success: Iranian Islamic Socialism" is a detailed and very serious compilation of the author's analyses, published by various progressive outlets in the West and now re-edited into this powerful and thought-provoking volume.
Mazaheri is smashing to pieces our perceptions about Iran - one of the deepest, most fascinating and original cultures on Earth. Many foreigners thought that Iran can be labelled and boxed into established categories. "No!" writes Mazaheri. Iran can be socialist and religious at the same time. And it can be, and in fact is, on the vanguard of many modern achievements of our humanity. It is a proud, brilliant country which should be listened to, and respected, by all of us.
Mazaheri is an internationalist, living and working (for PressTV) in Paris. Part of his family is in Chicago and the other is in Tehran. He is at home in Iran, as he is in Cuba, or in the West. He clearly understands Iran as an insider, but he is also able to explain it to those who are geographically and culturally far away from it. He understand what points are missed by outsiders.
The book is passionate and angry, full of facts and unexpected revelations - precisely what a great book is and should be. It is perhaps the most fascinating work I have recently read about Iran. And it is a "socialist book", about a great socialist nation. It teaches and gives hope. It shames those who are trying to belittle and harm one of the most important countries on Earth - Iran.
Andre Vltchek
Author of many revolutionary books, including Exposing Lies of the Empire and Revolutionary Optimism, Western Nihilism.
Introduction
I n February 2018 the World Socialist Web Site (www.wsws.org) published a three-part series, and then a for-sale pamphlet, in response to my published criticism of their coverage of the December 2017/January 2018 protests in Iran. However, they went much further than complaining about my critique: their second goal was clearly to try to rebut a concept I did not invent but do often discuss - Iranian Islamic Socialism. Their third and final goal was to revise the history of the 1979 Iranian Islamic Revolution to try and award all the credit to the Iranian Communist Party, which is something absolutely no Iranian regardless of political affiliation would consider remotely credible.
This book first appeared as an 11-part series, published by www.thesaker.is and www.greanvillepost.com, in order to: explain the undeniably socialist-inspired nature of Irans economy, give the first leftist examination in the West of the Basij, and to explain how the religious-cultural roots of revolutionary Shiism ultimately created Iranian Islamic Socialism.
The series began to be published in June 2018, after I had returned from an inspiring stint in Cuba covering their presidential elections and the election of Miguel Diaz-Canel. Diaz-Canel was truly greeted with open arms by almost everyone I spoke with while reporting for PressTV, Irans English-language television news stationof course he was not welcomed by the capitalist-imperialist West, nor in their many Latin American satellites.
But the main reason I waited to issue the series which is full of facts, figures and analyses I would imagine nearly every Iranian is aware of, but which are totally censored, ignored and even unreasonably denied in the West was to see what Washington would do with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCOPA) agreement on Irans nuclear energy program, as that would dramatically affect any discussion on Iran.
Unsurprisingly, the US maintained their centuries-old policy of not keeping their policies they unilaterally and illegally withdrew in May 2018. Their European allies and satellites have not kept their word either: the unveiling of the special purpose financial vehicle the Instrument In Support Of Trade Exchanges (INSTEX) only facilitates trade between small- and medium-companies and, at the time of publication of this book, it would be perhaps not even be successful in its secondary, modest goal of breaking the blockade on humanitarian, medical and farm products. It will not, crucially, facilitate oil sales. Therefore, INSTEX does not to constitute a sovereign break with Washingtons inhumane and deadly anti-Iran policy
The obvious injustice of Washingtons decision has I hope increased receptivity towards new ideas which analyze Iran sympathetically, instead of so very, very antagonistically.
Some quarters are so reactionary as to be almost without hope. For example, National Public Radio (NPR), operated by the US state: In January 2019 Iranian-American PressTV anchorwoman Marzieh Hashemi was inexplicably arrested at the St. Louis airport and illegally detained for ten days. NPR used a very common and subtle propaganda technique Western media employs to cast doubt on anything Iran says or does: their headline read, Iran Says U.S. Has Detained 'Press TV' Journalist And Calls For Her Release. Iran says, Iran claims, etc. that is not new, but putting PressTV in quotation marks as if NPR was not even sure PressTV existed - that was a record low! If NPR was just far too busy interviewing US generals about foreign policy choices and diplomatic relations they could have just asked me: I promise PressTV is undoubtedly a real, tangible thing!
