From encounters with Western powers in the nineteenth century
through to a Constitutional Revolution at the beginning of the
twentieth century, and from the overthrow of the democratically
elected Prime Minister Mosaddeq in the 1950s to the current Islamic
Republic, Iran's history has rarely been far from tumultuous and
dramatic. And the ways in which Iranian society has participated in
and reacted to these events have been equally fascinating and
revolutionary. Here for the first time in English, Yann Richard
offers his take on the social and political history of Iran since
1800. Richard's account traces the common threads of national
ideology and violent conflict that have characterised a number of
episodes in Iranian history. By also concerning himself with the
reactions and feelings of Iranian society, and by referring
frequently to Persian sources and commentaries, Richard gives us a
unique insight into the challenges encountered by Iranians in
modern times.
