Reviews
it is particularly well written and will be a quick, enjoyable read for those interested in learning about Iranian history and culture ... Essential. * CHOICE *
Richard Foltz analyses the socio-political reasons that led to the Islamic Revolution of 1979 in Iran; he discusses also the history of the country in the aftermath, with a fair amount of objectivity and impartiality. Among the advantages of the book I would mention the ample photographic materials and a brief chronology of the Iranian history. * Anton Evstratov, Iran and the Caucasus *
Any reader looking for a concise, yet all-inclusive history of Iran, or the development and interactions of world civilizations in general would enjoy Foltz's new book. * The Middle East Journal *
