Mohsen Sazegara recalls his activism in the United States in the mid-to-late 1970s, describing Freedom Movement figures Yazdi, Ghotbzadeh, and Chamran, and his role building the Muslim Students' Association in Chicago and across several states. He argues that educated Muslims deliberately allied with the clergy and bazaar to topple the Shah, an alliance that later turned against them. He left his physics and sociology studies for the revolution, later earning history degrees and pursuing a doctorate in London.
