Since the 1979 revolution, Iran has been locked in conflict with
the United States and Europe. Personified in the West by a series
of bogeymen from Ayatollah Khomeini to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, this
villainous mask obscures a far more complex identity, forged by a
vibrant and chaotic history. Revealing the country's true face,
acclaimed expert Homa Katouzian delves deep into Iran's past,
exploring how an ancient civilization at a crossroads of diverse
dynasties and religions grew to become an ethnically,
linguistically, and culturally rich nation. Centuries of arbitrary
rule and revolution - from the first Persian empires to the Green
Movement - are brought to life as Katouzian offers fresh insight
into this fascinating country. Asking where its future may lie
post-Arab Spring, this is the perfect primer for understanding a
country characterized by constant flux and controversy.
