About this title

From School Library Journal

Gr 6 Up-Spencer briefly mentions Iran's long history, but concentrates on the problems dominating its relationship with the U.S. He offers a balanced approach and places responsibility for the misunderstandings on both governments. He examines the shifts in the relationship and the end of Iran's monarchy and its present-day theocracy. His clear, direct explanations and illustrative comments will be understandable to students who have little knowledge of the conflicts or religions involved. Two full-page, black-and-white maps showing modern Iran and the ancient Persian Empire are easily interpreted. A few average-quality, black-and-white photos and illustrations are scattered throughout. An extensive bibliography and source notes are included. Up-to-date information presented in an accessible format.-Carol Durusau, Newton County Public Library, Covington, GA
