## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quick comprehensive flight read
*by M***D on October 8, 2024*

I read this on the flight to Iran during my first visit and it gave a good bird's eye view of the society I was about to see. I plan to re-read it if I ever visit Iran again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good synopsis but...
*by S***A on September 10, 2015*

This work is a bit inaccurate in its description of recent (past 200 years) Iranian political aspirations. The role of political interference is underplayed in order to leave all at the doorstep of responsibility for one's own determination. However, Iran actually represents one of those extreme cases of interference wherein deceptive practices sabotaged future of multiple generations. This must be firmly researched and understood for anyone to truly know the present character of Iran and Iranians. Also, the line about khatami's allowance for press "freedom" having not been witnessed since 1906 is an appallingly false statement. Press was fully monitored during his tenure and many punished if deviated from what was carefully structured as a seemingly open press.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dr. Ansari is simply the best
*by M***. on June 30, 2021*

Fascinating and enriched historical summary condensed into a quick easy read with eloquent and precise prose. Professor Ansari’s book will serve as a great intro to anyone who needs a crash course on Iranian history.
