Product Description

A history of 20th century Iran by one of the country's most prominent intellectuals. A religious scholar in his youth who achieved the rank of mullah, Kasravi came to reject religious doctrine in favor of democratic ideals -- even when his advocacy of enlightenment and social justice pitted him against the monarchy. As a great believer in intellectual freedom, Kasravi's works remain a prime example of historical analysis today.
