About
World affairs in 2026 continue to be shaped by conflict between the United States and Iran. In King of Kings, Pulitzer Prize finalist and Kirkus Prize-winning author Scott Anderson provides much-needed historical perspective on current events, delivering a gripping account of the 1979 Iranian Revolution and the catastrophic miscalculations that helped reshape the Middle East. Drawing on extensive research and first-hand testimony, Anderson reveals how the Shah, the United States and others repeatedly failed to understand the forces gathering around them. Anderson, whose book was shortlisted for the Lionel Gelber Prize, joins the Prize’s Co-Chair and renowned international affairs expert Janice Stein, Founding Director of the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy.
