The Iranian cleric Ayatollah Montazeri (1922-2009) played an integral role in the founding of the Islamic Republic in the wake of the Iranian Revolution of 1978/9.

This book traces the origins, history, and memory of the Jalayirid dynasty, a family that succeeded the Mongol Ilkhans in Iran and Iraq in the 14th and early 15th centuries.

ISBN: 9780190468965 / Angielski / Miękka / 544 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Revolutionary Iran, Michael Axworthy guides us through recent Iranian history from shortly before the 1979 Islamic revolution through the summer of 2009, when Iranians poured into the streets of Tehran by the hundreds of thousands, demanding free, democratic government.

ISBN: 9781107054240 / Angielski / Twarda / 362 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. By focusing on the works and intellectual network of the Timurid historian Sharaf al Dīn 'Alī Yazdī (d.1454), this book presents a holistic view of intellectual life in fifteenth century Iran.

The network included an Ottoman revolutionary, a Mamluk prophet, and a Timurid occultist, as...

The current approach, led by the United States as part of the so-called P5]1, is now in its final stages. While opinions may vary as to the contents and wisdom of the deal that may be taking shape, all understand that the success of any agreement will be dependent on whether the Iranian regime can be trusted to curtail its decades-long quest for a nuclear weapon. As President Obama has suggested, if this agreement results in Iran becoming a nuclear power, history will judge the...

The Eternal Revolution: Hardliners and Conservatives in Iran
ISBN: 9781784535421 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. More than three decades have passed since the establishment of the Islamic Republic of Iran in 1979. In that time, theories of modern revolution would suggest a retreat from ideological goals, heralding a phase of institutional development. However, Hamad Albloshi argues that Iran is unique: the current rhetoric of conservative Iranian leaders implies the regime has not left its revolutionary stage. Through an examination of the hardline conservative ideology in Iran-personified by the former president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad-this book explores how the usual development seen in revolutions from...

Wounded Years: The Russo-Iran Wars
ISBN: 9781939123411 / Perski / Miękka / 600 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. There are over one hundred sources in the "Institute of Manuscripts of Republic of Azerbaijan's Academy of Sciences" about the Russo- Iran Wars. But in Iran, due to lack of Iranian historians' access to the Russian and Caucasus resources, these valuable works have still not been used by Iranian Historiography of the period of the war between Iran and Russia. From the most prominent of these resources, we can refer to the seven-volume history of Azerbaijan, which is written by professors and authors of Azerbaijan's Academy of Sciences. Also we should refer to the rich collection of historical...
