Recenzje

'Through five musical pieces, Adib-Moghaddam offers a unique perspective on Iran's politics in the region and beyond … Adib-Moghaddam skilfully links the themes of his chosen examples - the greatness of Persian history and values and their impact on human history; revolutionary motivations and sacrifice; determination to rebel against injustice and resistance - to Iranian domestic and international politics. This informative book is a must-read for those engaged with Iranian studies and interested readers wishing to understand the trajectory of Iran-US relations.'
