Forbis, in this fascnating and timely book, chronicles the fall of the Peacock Throne and the history of its extraordinary country, from its ancient birth asPersia to the Ayatollah's tumultuous rise to power. He brings into focus the harshnes and beauty of the land and the richness of the culture, as well as the royal family, the Ayatollah, and the people whose religious and mythical beliefs led them to struggle so fervently for Khomeini's Islamic republic.
