## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great read
*by A***. on 21 November 2024*

This book is an excellent introduction to the history of Iran, blending detailed historical facts with engaging storytelling. It covers key events, cultural developments, and political shifts in a way that’s easy to follow yet deeply insightful. Perfect for both casual readers and history enthusiasts looking to understand Iran’s rich and complex past. Highly recommend

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ a must read, specially for iranians
*by A***R on 10 January 2015*

This book has changed my perception about the history of Iran. The continuity and connections the author makes between the events and conveying the sense of each era is truly amazing. The only part which I believe lacks the a bit in terms of complete legibility is from the end of Pahlavi onwards. there are certain moments with too much detail and crucial movements without any. but besides that its a jewel for any collection.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautifully written, informative and concise
*by J***S on 24 February 2021*

I'm still amazed that this book manages to deliver so much information and yet still be such a pleasure to read. Highly recommended.The chapters are broken down into a combination of thematic and chronological sections which make it very easy to refer back to. It also means that there's enough of a thematic thread to keep the reader grounded as you're going though some of the early history of Iran (a complicated mix of kings murdering each other).
