You can get all the basic info about how modern Iran came to be today, and would be expected to have new discussions after reading this. The author provides a scathing assessment of historical events and the subsequent situation in contemporary Iran, especially in the political realm. However he also freely points out that interference from outsiders, including Britain and Russia, was one of the major causes of modern Iran. It's easy to look at Iran as weird or to look at it with scorn. However, Iran hasn't carved out its history alone. At its foundation lies centuries of interaction with its surroundings, for better or for worse. This is a good writings reminds us that the history of a country or a community isn't only always a series of choices it makes, but also at the same time it cannot develop independently of its surroundings. Review: This is an excellent single volume history of Iran where the chronology is explained on a thematic basis - e.g. the developing power of the central government in relation to the geographical periphery of the country during the course of the twentieth century. The bibliography is also very extensive, and set out under the thematic headings used in the text. A book I have no hesitation in recommending for all those wanting to better understand Iran. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Amazon Bestseller | #231,134 in Foreign Language Books ( See Top 100 in Foreign Language Books ) #142 in Iran History #178 in 16th Century History (Foreign Language Books) #4,021 in Asian History (Foreign Language Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (286) | | Dimensions | 6.1 x 2.2 x 9.1 inches | | ISBN-10 | 0300248938 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0300248937 | | Item Weight | 1.05 Kilograms | | Language | English | | Print length | 1028 pages | | Publication date | September 17, 2019 | | Publisher | Yale University Press | ## Images ![Iran: A Modern History - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71acDBI5jQL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent introduction to modern Iran *by M***I on April 10, 2024* A masterpiece that covers not only political and economic history but also changes in many fields.
