Description: "Iran is a country with a deep and complex history. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Iran gives readers an overview of specific events, movements, people, political and social groups, places, and trends. The modern period in particular - 1800 to present - is covered extensively. Through its chronology, introduction, bibliography, appendixes, and more than twice as many cross-referenced dictionary entries as in the first volume, this revised and updated edition allows for considerable exploration of a number of historical and contemporary topics and issues."--Jacket.
