Rezensionen

'Since it was first published in 2003, Ali Ansari's book has established itself as one of the very few really first-class histories of modern Iran. It is exceedingly well-informed, judicious in its judgements, and thoroughly up to date in its use of the essential source-material and previous scholarship. It is also remarkably accessible: a pleasure to read, and ideal for both students and the wider readership of those who wish to understand Iran. The new chapters of this edition, dealing with and analysing the developments of the period between 1797 and the early 20^th century, add greatly to the book's value and interest.'
