A former member of the State Department's Policy Planning Council, Polk describes a country and a history misunderstood by many in the West.

There are important lessons to be learned from the past, and Polk teases them out of a long and rich history and shows that it is not just now, but for decades to come that an understanding of Iran will be essential to American safety and well-being.
