Rezensionen

' Eternal Iran is a sophisticated and subtle book, a seamless narrative of Iranian history and contemporary politics. A book of careful scholarship, yet accessible to a wide readership. One of the best accounts of recent years on that important and problematic country.' - Fouad Ajami, Author of The Dream Palace of the Arabs
