## Description

Buy Iran: A Modern History by Amanat, Abbas (ISBN: 9780300248937) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: First rate overview - This is an excellent single volume history of Iran where the chronology is explained on a thematic basis - e.g. the developing power of the central government in relation to the geographical periphery of the country during the course of the twentieth century. The bibliography is also very extensive, and set out under the thematic headings used in the text. A book I have no hesitation in recommending for all those wanting to better understand Iran.
Review: Beautiful book about a fascinating country - This is beautifully presented book, giving a detailed but engaging narrative of Iranian history going back to the rise of the Safavid dynasty in the early sixteenth century. Prof. Amanat says it his interpretation of modern Iranian history, rather than an attempt to summarize the field: I find it a very compelling interpretation.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First rate overview
*by R***N on 19 February 2020*

This is an excellent single volume history of Iran where the chronology is explained on a thematic basis - e.g. the developing power of the central government in relation to the geographical periphery of the country during the course of the twentieth century. The bibliography is also very extensive, and set out under the thematic headings used in the text. A book I have no hesitation in recommending for all those wanting to better understand Iran.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful book about a fascinating country
*by A***R on 27 April 2018*

This is beautifully presented book, giving a detailed but engaging narrative of Iranian history going back to the rise of the Safavid dynasty in the early sixteenth century. Prof. Amanat says it his interpretation of modern Iranian history, rather than an attempt to summarize the field: I find it a very compelling interpretation.
