LLoyd Llewellyn-Jones, James Robson - Ctesias' 'Hi story of Persia'; Tales of the Orient (2010).pdf

Towards the end of the fifth century BC Ctesias of Cnidus wrote his 23 book History of Persia. Ctesias is a remarkable figure: he lived and worked in the Persian court and, as a doctor, tended to the world’s most powerful kings and queens. His position gave him special insight into the workings of Persian court life and access to the gossip and scandal surrounding Persian history and court politics, past and present. His History of Persia was completed at a time when the Greeks were fascinated by Persia and seems very much to cater to contemporary interest in Persian wealth and opulence, powerful Persian women, the institution of the harem, kings and queens, eunuchs and secret plots.

Presented here in English translation for the first time with commentaries, Ctesias offers a fascinating insight into Persia in the fifth century BC.

Ali Gheissari - Contemporary Iran; Economy, Societ y, Politics (2009).jpg

Iran is a key player in some of the most crucial issues of our time. But because of its relative diplomatic isolation and the partisan nature of conflicting accounts voiced by different interest groups both inside and outside the country, there is a shortage of hard information about the scale and depth of social change in today's Iran. In this volume, and imposing roster of both internationally renowned Iranian scholars and rising young Iranian academics offer contributions--many based on recent fieldwork--on the nature and evolution of Iran's economy, significant aspects of Iran's changing society, and the dynamics of its domestic and international politics since the 1979 revolution, focusing particularly on the post-Khomeini period. The book will be of great interest not only to Iran specialists, but also to scholars of comparative politics, democratization, social change, politics in the Muslim world, and Middle Eastern studies.

Mark C. Palma - The 1979 Iranian Revolution; A Stu dy in the Role of Culture in the Modernization of Traditional Societies (2001).gif

_Persia - Mark C. Palma - The 1979 Iranian Revolution A Study in ...ture in the Modernization of Traditional Societies 2001.gif

The 1979 Iranian Revolution is an effective iliustration of how the forces of tradition and culture within a society possess the potentiai to react against a modemizing regime, The Theory of Modemization supports this contention, concluding that modemization within traditional society, especially when pursued at a rapid tempo can lead to upheaval and unrest. The Pahlavi dynasty in Iran utilized Western aid and influence to rapidly modernize Iran economically, while omitting any political modemization. The 1979 Revolution was inspired in part by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and the aiienated Islamic clergy, who politically mobilized the populace and directed them against the govemment of Mohammad Reza Shah. This study argues that in a modernizhg society, the populace must be granted institutions for interest articulation to guarantee that indigenous culture and tradition are given a voice. This will ensure that upheaval does not ensue during the modernization process.

Stephen C. Pelletiere - The Iran-Iraq War; Chaos i n a Vacuum (1992).jpg

This book is a major reinterpretation of the Iran-Iraq War, and is a source for reexamining the U.S. involvement in the Gulf. Pelletiere demonstrates that the war was not a standoff in which Iraq finally won a grinding war of attrition through luck, persistence, and the use of poison gas. Instead, Iraq "planned the last campaign almost two years prior to its unfolding. [The Iraqis] trained intensively and expended enormous sums of money to make it [their effort] succeed. What won for them was their superior fighting prowess and greater commitment. Gas--if it was used at all--played only a minor part in the victory.''

Joanna De Groot - Religion, Culture and Politics i n Iran; From the Qajars to Khomeini (2007).jpg

A new and original interpretation of the social history of religion in Iran from the 1870s to the 1970s.
Drawing together religion and other social and cultural issues, it places the revolutionary upheavals of 1977-82 in the context of historical developments over the preceding century. De Groot argues that Iran’s revolution was not the inevitable outcome of the nature of the Iranian state or of religion in Iran but was much more complex and resulted from a wider range of factors than is traditionally believed. She focuses on the human responses of Iranians to their experiences and on the rich variety and complexity of the relationship between religion and other aspects of society, thought and culture in their daily life.
Stimulating and engaging, Religion, Culture and Politics in Iran makes an important contribution to the study of Iranian society.

Daniel L. Byman - Irans's Security Policy In the P ost-Revolutionary Era (2001).jpg

Religion, nationalism, ethnicity, economics, and geopolitics all are important in explaining Iran's goals and tactics in its relationship with the outside world, as are the agendas of key security institutions and the ambitions of their leaders. This report assesses Iran's security policy in light of these factors. It examines broad drivers of Iran's security policy, describes important security institutions, explores decisionmaking, and reviews Iran's relations with key countries. The authors conclude that Iraq is widely recognized as the leading threat to Iran's Islamic regime and Afghanistan is seen as an emerging threat. In contrast, Iran has solid, if not necessarily warm, relations with Syria and established working ties to Pakistan and Russia. Iran's policies toward its neighbors are increasingly prudent: It is trying to calm regional tension and end its isolation, although its policies toward Israel and the United States are often an exception to this policy. Iran's security forces, particularly the regular military, are often voices of restraint, preferring shows of force to overactive confrontations. Finally, Iran's security forces generally respect and follow the wishes of Iran's civilian leadership; conducting rogue operations is rare to nonexistent.

Mohammad Gholi Majd - Great Britain & Reza Shah; T he Plunder of Iran, 1921-1941 (2001).jpg

Using recently declassified U.S. State Department archives, Mohammad Gholi Majd describes the rampant tyranny and destruction of Iran in the decades between the two world wars in a sensational yet thoroughly scholarly study that will rewrite the political and economic history of the country. The book begins with the British invasion of Iran in April 1918 and ends with the Anglo-Russian invasion in August 1941. Though historians are aware of the events that ensued, until now they have had no written evidence of the dreadful magnitude of the activities. Majd documents how the British brought to power an obscure and semi-illiterate military officer, Reza Khan, who was made shah in 1925. Thereafter, Majd shows, Iran was subjected to a level of brutality not seen for centuries. He also documents the financial plunder of the country during the period: records show that Reza Shah looted the bulk of Iran's oil revenues on the pretext of buying arms, amassing at least $100 million in his London bank accounts and huge sums in New York and Switzerland. Not ven Iran's ancient crown jewels were spared. In contrast to incomplete and unreliable British records for the period, the recently declassified archives and bank records that Majd uses encompass a wide range of political, social, military, and economic matters. A work with immense implications, this book will correct the myth in Iranian history that the period 1921-41 was one of unqualified progress and reform.

Ancient Civilizations - Katherine Reece - The Pers ians; Warriors of the Ancient World (2005).jpg

An introduction to the ancient Persians, their lifestyles, kings, customs, and changes for the future.
Reading level: Ages 9 and up.

A lot of the books aimed at this age group tend to throw facts at the reader. This book is engaging and strangely hard to put down. In only 48 pages, the author manages to bring many elements of this ancient culture to life. An unexpected treat.

Jason Jones - The American Rhetorical Construction of the Iranian Nuclear Threat (2011).jpg

From 2002 to 2008, the Bush administration argued that Iran was developing nuclear weapons, despite years of inconclusive International Atomic Energy Agency inspection reports. In the absence of substantive evidence, much of the debate was conducted via public forums with a heavy persuasive element to the discourse. This book offers an in-depth consideration of the rhetoric surrounding Irans controversial nuclear programme. It takes an interdisciplinary approach, examining speeches, interviews, news reports, online message boards and newspaper layouts during the Bush Presidency (2000-2008). Engaging with visual grammar and narrative, the book looks at layouts from the Associated Press, The New York Times and The Washington Post, amongst others.The book points out, using rhetorical theory and discourse analysis, the conditions that lent credibility to the Bush administrations position by examining the arguments Bush and his political surrogates put forward, and the discourse strategies that influenced which ideas gained salience and which were downplayed. Political communication and Foucaults theory of governmentality are brought in to articulate the implications regarding the influence, importance and expansion of executive power.
