Description
"Iran: A Modern History" by Abbas Amanat is a comprehensive study of Iran's contemporary history. The book aims to rewrite the modern history of Iran, starting from the rise of the Safavid dynasty, which is often considered the beginning of Iran's modern era. The book initially delves into the Safavid era, examining this period in detail, along with the brief reigns of the Afsharid and Zand dynasties that followed. It then proceeds to the Qajar dynasty, where Amanat not only recounts historical events but also explores the events leading up to the Constitutional Revolution. The narrative continues through the Pahlavi dynasty and concludes with the Islamic Republic, providing a thorough examination of Iran's political, social, and cultural transformations over the centuries.
