Produktbeschreibung
The government of the Islamic Republic of Iran is trying to expand its diplomatic and financial ties while the majority of its citizens are tired of its cruel autocratic rule that has no care for its citizenry. Gail Rose Thompson who lived there in the 1970s during the reign of Shah Mohamed Reza Pahlavi working for the Imperial Court as the Shah's horse trainer, has many stories about life during those "Golden Years". She visited Iran in 2017 after an absence of forty years, as the first ex-employee of the Shah to return and met up with old friends as well as making new acquaintances. She found life in the Turban's twenty-first century very similar to life as it had been when she was living there under the Shah's Crown. The book paints a colorful picture of a beautiful historic country that dates to the 4th millennium BCE, when the Persian Empire was the most powerful kingdom in the world. The Iranian people are proud of their heritage, polite, hospitable and extremely family oriented. During the past five years through research and frequent conversations by telephone and internet Apps she has followed the happenings in the country which have not been covered well by the discriminatory media of the West. Iran from Crown to Turbans, Revised Edition is a fascinating book that will enlighten the reader about a country that has been ignored and misrepresented.
