Iran by Abbas Amanat
A Modern History
A sweeping, scholarly narrative that traces Iran’s political, social, and cultural evolution from early modern times into the contemporary era, examining how religious identity, imperial pressures, modernization, oil, and competing ideologies shaped state institutions and popular life; by synthesizing diplomatic history, intellectual currents, revolutions, and everyday experiences, it explains the continuities and ruptures—especially the Qajar and Pahlavi transformations and the 1979 revolution—that produced Iran’s complex modern identity and politics.
