Title: Misunderstood notions of a complex culture
Review: At first, this book is great to read. When Mackey is re-iterating ancient history, as anyone can, it's fine. However, her interpretations of Islam, causes for the revolution, and what Iranian people truly feel is misplaced and not accurate. She does not represent popular opinion but merely regurgitates propogandized western surface idealogy and gives the horrible regime credibility. It's almost as if her impressions were taken from the mullahs themselves.For those wishing to gain an insight into Iran, this book will only give you false impressions.
