Items related to Iran: A Short History. Monika Gronke
Synopsis
No country in the Islamic Middle East presents as unique and distinguished a history and culture as Iran, which has managed to maintain its inherent characteristics -- some of them from pre-Islamic times -- over the course of centuries of changing dynasties and rulers. The Shiite faith, the official religion of Persia/Iran since 1501, stands in contrast to the Sunni Islam which dominates the greater region. Although in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries Iran endured ongoing political, military and economic pressure from European powers, Shiism and Persian culture remained intact and it escaped colonialism. And, following the revolution of 1979, Iran became the first Islamic Republic. Monika Gronke presents the history of this country from the Islamization of the 7th century to the present in a clear and lively style, and describes the cultural, social, and religious developments that shaped Iran and the Iranian self-image.

Review
"A very readable book with solid scholarship." --Buchprofile -- Buchprofile
"Extremely well done, very readable and useful...a lucid and conclusive structure divides the material into four [chronological] subject areas. Inside each section there are thematic subchapters, such as The Continuation of the Iranian Tradition, The Beginnings of Persian Literature, and Women in Modern Iran." -- --Zeitschrift der deutschen morgenländischen Gesellschaft
"The History of Iran helps us understand why mullahs rule today where for centuries emperors, Khans and kings of kings were in charge." -- Berliner Morgenpost
