Review

"Amanat’s book combines formidable scholarship with an understanding of broad historical questions and human interaction.  He has created a book that is readable, reliable and full of ideas, which will be a must-read for all interested in Iranian history or in historical comparisons." -- Nikki Keddie, University of California, Los Angeles

"Amanat’s biography of Nasir al-Din Shah sheds profound illumination on the historical development of Iran…He makes his analysis implicit in his eloquent, textured and sensitive narrative.  We are given a shah’s-eye view on issues ranging from Ottoman oppression of Shi’ites in Iraq to British imperialism in Afghanistan and the Persian Gulf.  It is both fresh and fascinating." -- Juan Cole, University of Michigan
