Title: Clearly explains the Iranian psyche
Review: I feel this book is an excellent history of Iran and unlike some feel it gives a good representation of more recent history, I am sorry she didn't have room to portray everybody that was important; ten volume books don't usually sell well. She did mention some people I didn't know, but more importantly she finally made me understand clearly where the Shah went wrong and why and made me truly understand the importance of Islam. In spite of 3 1/2 years immersed in Persian culture under the Shah I had failed to fully grasp either of these concepts. I wish I could go back and apologize to the Mullah I once shared a bus seat with who I undoubtedly offended grievously offended by flippantly commenting that I thought of all religions Zen Buddhism appealed to me the most. While I sincerely meant it, I also knew it would be rude when I said it.
