Do you ever watch news reports about Iran and despair? Perhaps your knowledge of Iran is like mine: a collection of news bites from over the years, my prayers restricted to the odd cry for help for this seemingly hopeless case. This little book by Mark Bradley seeks to set straight common assumptions made about Iran.
The book gives a simple outline of the socio-political and religious situation in the country, concentrating on events since the Islamic Revolution in 1979. It has two sections: Closed Land and Open Hearts. It is a quick and easy read, if clumsily written in parts.
