Summary
If you want to discover the captivating history of the Afsharid and Qajar Dynasty, then pay attention....
Most people have heard about the famous and mighty Persian Empire of old, be it the one ruled by the Achaemenid Dynasty which challenged the Greeks and ultimately fell to the might Alexander the Great or the later Persian Empire ruled by the Parthian and Sassanid Dynasties which fought against the Romans and the Byzantines before being conquered by the Arab tribes which brought the Islamic religion to the Iranian Plateau. However, after those glory days of the ancient era, the Persian story is relatively ignored, hidden in the dark corners of history. Because of this, most of us have no idea how the Persian Empire became the contemporary Iranian republic. This guide aims to fill this hole in the Persian story, taking a look at the modern history of Iran during which this crucial change occurred.

I would recommend the book
The unfortunate slights such as these somewhat undermine the writer's surely learned opinion on other issues.
Overall, I would recommend the book as it presents rich material for thought and further research.

Nice book
He is critical of foreign interventions in the region, as well as authoritarian aspects of recent regimes. The book presents the history of modern Iran until current events and poses the dilemmas faced.

Why people study history
This book does provide an excellent insight in modern Iran but I would suggest that you combine it with some other book focused on the pre-modern era of Iran.

Clear and comprehensible
A very open and understandable description of Iran. If only it were required learning for western politicians, they might make fewer errors in their dealings with the country.

The Afsharid and Qajar Dynasty
It is written in a very easy way and shows what went on to bring Shi'ism to Persia. Shi'ism took its roots here and declared after the Safavids made it into a state religion.
