Abbas Milani

Mage Publishers, 1996

A moving account
I had the good fortune of having Abbas Milani as my professor a few years back at Golden Gate University in San Francisco. He is an inspiring teacher, and a person that represents the ideal western morden man(add woman for PCness). The book details his life and struggle with the authorities in Iran, and how difficult it is for someone with a quest for truth and the desire to think for ...

Eminent Persians
Abbas Milani

Syracuse University Press, 2008

"Eminent Persians" seeks to rectify that loss. Milani's groundbreaking portrait of modern Iran ...

I was blown away by how much I enjoyed this book.
I found this book to be very fascinating, fair, and extremely well written. Like other readers (below), it was hard for me to put the book down once I started reading it. Through the life of Prime Minister Hoveyda, we learn how and why the Iranian Revolution succeeded and understand the reign of terror that followed the collapse of the Iranian Monarchy in 1979. I must say I did not expect an ...

Manuchehr Irani, Abbas (Translator) Milani

Mage Publishers, 1995

In the name of Iran
This book on chapter one embarked on ancient Iran fairy tail history. Chapter two, author without any kind of prepartion took a journy in 60s, 70s, and 80s political turmoil in Iran. The story lacked introduction, body, climax and proper conclusion. The characters were not fully developed and there was no real story line. For example, author wrote about Samrad, who would do coup de grace and at ...
