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

One of the world's most ancient and enduring civilizations, Iran has long played a central role in human events and continues to do so today. This book traces the spread of Iranian culture among diverse populations ranging from the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean, and along the Silk Roads as far as China, from prehistoric times up to the present day. From paradise gardens and Persian carpets to the mystical poetry of Rumi and Hafez, Iran's contributions have earned it a place among history's greatest and most influential civilizations. Encompassing the fields of religion, literature and the arts, politics, and higher learning, this book provides a holistic history of this important culture.
