Abbas Amanat
This history of modern Iran is not a survey in the conventional sense but an ambitious exploration of the story of a nation. It offers a revealing look at how events, people, and institutions are shaped by currents that sometimes reach back hundreds of years. The book covers the complex history of the diverse societies and economies of Iran against the background of dynastic changes, revolutions, civil wars, foreign occupation, and the rise of the Islamic Republic.
Abbas Amanat combines chronological and thematic approaches, exploring events with lasting implications for modern Iran and the world. Drawing on diverse historical scholarship and emphasizing the 20th century, he addresses debates about Iran's culture and politics.
Political history is the driving narrative force, given impetus by Amanat's decades of research and study. He layers the book with discussions of literature, music, and the arts; ideology and religion; economy and society; and cultural identity and heritage.

The real beauty of this book is about the author's personal relationships with some of the recent incumbents. And his politically informed, but largely historical view of these invaluable experiences.
As a non-Farsi speaker, I found it particularly rewarding to be taught some of the relevant Farsi terms, including the author's care to repeat their translations redundantly, throughout the text.
Overall: Highly recommended!
Fascinating, throughout!
