Iran is often portrayed in the media as a difficult and hostile country. Under the headlines lies a fascinating tale of a nation with great intellectual depth and variety, as well as a huge cultural significance. This nation has had a tremendous impact on its neighbors in the Middle East and the entire world – through ideas and creativity, rather than the sword. Michael Axworthy provides a comprehensive account of Iran’s history, from the time Zoroaster to the ancient Persian Empires to the present president Mahmud Ahmadinejad, a controversial figure both within and outside Iran. Axworthy explains both the complicated succession of dynasties which ruled ancient Iran, and the astonishing ethnic diversity of modern Iran, all held together by a shared culture. Iran: Empire of the Mind is essential for understanding this complex land.
