{"product_id":"iran","title":"Iran","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom encounters with Western powers in the nineteenth century through to a Constitutional Revolution at the beginning of the twentieth century, and from the overthrow of the democratically elected Prime Minister Mosaddeq in the 1950s to the current Islamic Republic, Iran's history has rarely been far from tumultuous and dramatic. And the ways in which Iranian society has participated in and reacted to these events have been equally fascinating and revolutionary. Here for the first time in English, Yann Richard offers his take on the social and political history of Iran since 1800. Richard's account traces the common threads of national ideology and violent conflict that have characterised a number of episodes in Iranian history. By also concerning himself with the reactions and feelings of Iranian society, and by referring frequently to Persian sources and commentaries, Richard gives us a unique insight into the challenges encountered by Iranians in modern times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn introductory text on Iranian history from 1800 to the present day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers insight into key events, exploring how Iranian society reacted to these\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYann Richard is an expert in the field; the research and sources he brings to this is unparalleled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56459184144770,"sku":"9781108701624","price":26.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0475\/2031\/7597\/files\/9781108701624i.jpg?v=1773234958","url":"https:\/\/www.cambridgebookshop.co.uk\/products\/iran","provider":"Cambridge University Press Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
