Since the beginning of recorded history, Iran/Persia has been one
of the most important world civilizations. Iran remains a distinct
civilization today despite its status as a major Islamic state with
broad regional influence and its deep integration into the global
economy through its vast energy reserves. Yet the close attention
paid to Iran in recent decades stems from the impact of the 1979
revolution, which unleashed ideological shock waves throughout the
Middle East that reverberate to this day. Many observers look at
Iran through the prism of the Islamic Republic's adversarial
relationship with the US, Israel, and Sunni nations in its region,
yet as Michael Axworthy shows in Iran: What Everyone Needs to Know,
there is much more to contemporary Iran than its fraught and
complicated foreign relations. He begins with a concise account of
Iranian history from ancient times to the late twentieth century,
following that with sharp summaries of the key events since the1979
revolution. The final section of the book focuses on Iran today-its
culture, economy, politics, and people-and assesses the challenges
that the nation will face in coming years. Iran will be an
essential overview of a complex and important nation that has
occupied world headlines for nearly four decades.
