?...a sophisiticated and comprehensive introductory survey of the
history of Iran....a useful resource to consult when beginning any
research project on Iran.?-Middle East Journal
?[I]t must be said that Daniel has had the unenviable task of
presenting a concise brief history of more than 2,500 years of
Iranian history in fewer than 300 pages. The result is a very good
book that can gtreatly help students new to the subject gain a
general view of Iranian history and what has made Iran what it is
today. This is no small achievement.?-International Journal of
Middle Eastern Studies
?Daniel analysis of the forces that have shaped the contemporary
history of Iran...is the most objective yet written in
English...this book should be considered indispensable; it is
concise, readable, and up-to-date.?-Choice
?Whatever one's own preferences in the relative wieght to allot
different episodes in Iranian history, Daniel does an admirable job
of presenting the large picture. The seven page bibliographical
essay is very up-to-date and would be a useful resource to consult
when beginning any research project on Iran. This book would serve
equally well as an introduction to Iranian history and as a basic
guide to understanding contemporary Iranian politics and
culture.?-The Middle East Journal
