Books Well Read - November 2008

2 books on Iran

November 12th 2008 11:14

I would like to recommend these Two Excellent Recent BOOKs on IRAN to my Regular Readers and Lovers of History who come across this blog.


EMPIRE OF THE MIND
A History of Iran
Michael Axworthy 2007


This is an excellent general history of Iran and a country and culture and its influence over the centuries on other countries from prehistory up to to modern times.


SHADOWS IN THE DESERT
Ancient Persia at War

Dr Kaveh Farrokh 2007


This focuses more on military history but is work with an "Insider's" view of history.

Whether your interest is just IRAN or World History these books are enjoyable and well researched. They cover Ancient Persia Parthia Iran and much more including the Islamic Conquest. If you're a librarian I would strongly recommend adding them to your history section. (many thnaks from me to whoever did buy them for the library)

Enjoy!
