PB 21x14cm. 16.95 $ 16.95 2013/03/24 History As Tehran faces a crisis in its escalating showdown with the International Atomic Energy Agency regarding its nuclear program, renowned Middle East expert Dilip Hiro clears the way through the labyrinth that defines today's Islamic Republic. In a country stereotyped as fundamentalist by America, Hiro finds a contradictory land—where black chador-clad women are the majority at universities, Iranian films are shown at international festivals, and human rights lawyer Shirin Ebadi is a Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. Drawing on Iran's rich history, its vast oil and gas reserves, and its unique strategic importance, Hiro reveals a complex nation whose theocratic rulers are struggling to prove that Islamic democracy is a viable and enduring social system. https://sites.google.com/a/gy.books-now.com/en80/9781560257165-34calguGEthropem73 History 520 Political Conditions 521 HIRO (Dilip) 522 ddc GF 216427 216427 0 0 ddc 0 0 HIS AL AL 2013-03-24 0.00 0 955.0544 HIRI GF03177 2021-09-29 00:00:00 https://sites.google.com/a/gy.books-now.com/en80/9781560257165-34calguGEthropem73 0.00 2013-03-24 GF
