Title: Poor scholarly integrity
Review: This book is very poorly researched. It's more a quick handbook to a dimplomat taking a crash course on Iranian history, as opposed to a neutral scholarly work. For example, the author's portray of Bahais as religious heretics who, "..called for heads to be cut off", shows her failure in inquiriing with many sources. The few paragraphs she dedicates to this very significant religious movement in 19th century-the Bahai Faith- are based on accounts by Muslims antagonists to this religion. If someone pursues such a project, they must consult all possible sources and views. Very dissapointing.
