  • Description

    A revealing look at Iran by an American journalist with an insider?s access behind Persian walls The grandson of an eminent ayatollah and the son of an Iranian diplomat, now an American citizen, Hooman Majd is, in a way, both 100 percent Iranian and 100 percent American, combining an insider?s knowledge of how Iran works with a remarkable ability to explain its history and its quirks to Western readers. With unforgettable portraits of Iranians, from government figures to women cab drivers to reform-minded Ayatollahs, Majd brings to life a country that is deeply religious yet highly cosmopolitan, authoritarian yet with democratic and reformist traditions?an Iran that is a more nuanced nemesis to the United States than it is typically portrayed to be.
