The Formation of Civil Society in Modern Iran: Public Intellectuals and the State by Melody Mohebi

4.0

If you ever want to dive deep into why Iran is the country it is today, this is the book for you. What should be required reading for anyone interested in the Middle East, this book peels back the curtain on a country that’s a bit more nuanced than some sources might have you believe. 

Chock full of info, this book is certainly worth it.
