This is an investigation into the Literacy Corps(sepah-e danesh) with evolved within the White Revolution (enqelab-e sefid) in Iran 81963 to 1979). This book argues that the Literacy Corps had an impact not only on the literacy level of rural Iranians but also on the corpsmen's own perception on the regime. In fact, while employed in the villages, some of the educated Literacy Corps urban youth studied revolutionary literature, and gradually developed their own political views. My findings show the Literacy Corps fostered the growth of political ideas which went against the regime and eventually exploded in the Islamic Revolution en 1979.
