The truths about Iran—quite different truths from versions
put forward by Washington, Tehran, and the media. Iran thundered onto the world stage in 1979 with an Islamic
revolution that shook the world. Today that revolution has
gone astray, a popular democracy movement boldly challenges
authority, and young Iranians are more interested in moving
to America than in chanting "Death to America." Afshin
Molavi, born in Iran and fluent in Persian, traveled widely
across his homeland, exploring the legacy of the Iranian
revolution and probing the soul of Iran, a land with nearly
three millennia of often-glorious history. Like a master
Persian carpet maker, Molavi weaves together threads of
rich historical insight, political analysis, cultural
observation, and the daily realities of life in the Islamic
republic to produce a colorful, intricate, and mesmerizing
narrative. Originally published in hardcover under the
title Persian Pilgrimages, this paperback edition is
revised, with a new introduction and epilogue.
