    TO BE PUBLISHED "A HISTORY OF MODERN IRAN" BY ERVAND ABRAHAMIAN

    Iran Book News Agency
    July 14 2010

    "A history of modern Iran" by Ervand Abrahamian has been rendered into
    Persian by Mohammad Ebrahim Fatahi and it is to be published by Ney.

    IBNA: In a reappraisal of Iran's modern history, Ervand Abrahamian
    traces its traumatic journey across the twentieth century, through the
    discovery of oil, imperial interventions, the rule of the Pahlavis and,
    in 1979, revolution and the birth of the Islamic Republic.

    In the intervening years, the country has experienced a bitter war with
    Iraq, the expansion of the state and the struggle for power between
    the old elites, the intelligentsia and the commercial middle class. The
    author is a compassionate expositor. While he adroitly negotiates the
    twists and turns of the country's regional and international politics,
    at the heart of his book are the people of Iran. It is to them and
    their resilience that this book is dedicated, as Iran emerges at the
    beginning of the twenty-first century as one of the most powerful
    states in the Middle East.

    Ervand Abrahamian is a historian of Middle Eastern and particularly
    Iranian history. An Armenian born in Iran and raised in England,
    he received his M.A. at Oxford University and his Ph.D. at Columbia
    University. He teaches at the City University of New York (CUNY) where
    he is Distinguished Professor of History at Baruch College and the
    CUNY Graduate Center. He has taught at Princeton University, New York
    University and Oxford University. He is currently working on a book
    about the 1953 Iranian coup d'état for Cambridge University Press.

    A history of modern Iran" by Ervand Abrahamian has been rendered into
    Persian by Mohammad Ebrahim Fatahi and it is to be published by Ney
    in 352 pages.
