Decently Done

A good introduction but occasionally tarnished by moralizing, speculation, and poor writing. If you would like an overview of the Achaemenid, Parthian, or Sassanian empires, this book provides a nice overview. The modern era overview received much less attention than the previous Iranian empires. I bought this to learn more about the Qajar and was disappointed. I still learned stuff and didn’t feel it was a wasted credit.

Great way to get critical background

The first three chapters discuss the rise of Persian culture and creation of the Persian empire and several dynasties, as well as relations with the Greeks and Romans. There was a lot of war but also mutual cultural influence.

Inscribe book

the book addresses debates about Iran’s culture and politics. Political history is the driving focus of this narrative based on decades of research and study, which is layered with discussions of literature, music, and the arts; ideology and religion; economy and society; and cultural identity and heritage.

Great history book

I'd recommend this book to the students of middle-eastern history and those interested in knowing more about Iran.

Why people study history

This is a brilliantly well-done book which reminds me why I love to study history so much.

Iran is a regional player

Yet, it seems, that a lot of people seem to know so very little about the country. This is an insightful tome brimming with information, as well as policy advice on how best to deal with Iran.

Guide to the Persian Empire

This book is a masterful study of modern Iranian history, weaving in not only events and characters, but also Persian poetry and Persian visual arts.

Fascinating book

This is very important because much of Iranian politics happens because of the give and take among politicos who work in a system where no one ever gets 100% of what they want. If you want to know how and why Iran is where it is, this is the book....

brilliant book,

I have read couple of history books specially on Iran, but the wealth of information and analysis in this book is second to none.

The book provided detail

The history suggests several possibilities concerning why the Middle East will remain a source of a variety of problems for many years to come.
