Abbas Amanat
À propos de cet audio
This history of modern Iran is not a survey in the conventional sense but an ambitious exploration of the story of a nation. It offers a revealing look at how events, people, and institutions are shaped by currents that sometimes reach back hundreds of years. The book covers the complex history of the diverse societies and economies of Iran against the background of dynastic changes, revolutions, civil wars, foreign occupation, and the rise of the Islamic Republic.
Abbas Amanat combines chronological and thematic approaches, exploring events with lasting implications for modern Iran and the world. Drawing on diverse historical scholarship and emphasizing the 20th century, he addresses debates about Iran's culture and politics.
Political history is the driving narrative force, given impetus by Amanat's decades of research and study. He layers the book with discussions of literature, music, and the arts; ideology and religion; economy and society; and cultural identity and heritage.

2.6 billion people are inhabitants of former British colonies. The empire's influence upon the quarter of the planet it occupied, and its gravitational influence upon the world outside it, has been profound: from the spread of Christianity by missionaries to the shaping international law. Even today, 1 in 3 people drive on the left hand side of the road, an artifact of the British empire. Yet Britain's idea of its imperial history and the world's experience of it are two very different things. Empireworld explores the ways in which British Empire has come to shape the modern world.

Two leading authorities—an acclaimed historian and the outstanding battlefield commander and strategist of our time—collaborate on a landmark examination of war since 1945. Conflict is both a sweeping history of the evolution of warfare up to Putin’s invasion of the Ukraine, and a penetrating analysis of what we must learn from the past—and anticipate in the future—in order to navigate an increasingly perilous world.

Zero day: a software bug that allows a hacker to break into your devices and move around undetected. One of the most coveted tools in a spy's arsenal, a zero day has the power to silently spy on your iPhone, dismantle the safety controls at a chemical plant, alter an election and shut down the electric grid (just ask Ukraine). For decades, under cover of classification levels and non-disclosure agreements, the United States government became the world’s dominant hoarder of zero days.

The Pity of War makes a simple and provocative argument: the human atrocity known as the Great War was entirely England's fault. According to Niall Ferguson, England entered into war based on naive assumptions of German aims, thereby transforming a Continental conflict into a world war, which it then badly mishandled, necessitating American involvement. The war was not inevitable, Ferguson argues, but rather was the result of the mistaken decisions of individuals who would later claim to have been in the grip of huge impersonal forces.

Ukraine is currently embroiled in a tense fight with Russia to preserve its territorial integrity and political independence. But today's conflict is only the latest in a long history of battles over Ukraine's territory and its existence as a sovereign nation. As the award-winning historian Serhii Plokhy argues in The Gates of Europe, we must examine Ukraine's past in order to understand its present and future.

Understand Modern Iran with one book
If you are to read only one book about modern Iran, I cannot imagine a better one is available. Half of the book is older history, and the other half deals with the 20th century (and a little bit more). This book will ground you to understand current Iranian affairs with some warranted confidence.
As the publisher says, the author discusses literature, music, arts, ideology, religion, economy and society, cultural identity, and heritage. This breathes life, context, and breadth into an understanding of modern Iran.
Thorough as it was, the book leaves me wanting more, although at the start I couldn’t imagine having the appetite for more about Iran than the girth this book offered. A greater focus on foreign relations of the Islamic Republic would be welcome to shed light on its nuclear ambitions, regional influence, and its strategy about Israel. Perhaps the historian does not have sufficient archival material to feel confident about these topics because they are so contemporary, but internal politics of the same period have been discussed nevertheless and unsparing judgments made.

"It is only sound that remains"
This book weaves the incredible story of Iran with amazing details, and makes you realize the true resilience of the Iranian people. Dynasties and governments come and go, each taking their turn exploiting this land, but in the end, the sound of the Iranian people remains. Thank you Dr. Amanat for taking on this incredible task and writing this truly significant book.

An exquisitely told story of a surviving and thriving nation.
This book offers a deep insight into the sociopolitically intriguing dynamics that evolve Iran as a modern nation while keeping it as a centrally united ‘mansion in the Middle East’ where it’s neighbors are still struggling to settle in the borders drawn on the sand.
The story is told in details but with such narrative structure and accessible prose that one can think of this book as a historical novel whose hero, the savior of the castle is art, poetry and relentless resistance to hegemony.
The most intriguing part of the story is how with factually accurate examples, the author illustrates that today’s Islamic Republic is in essence on the same nation building and foreign resisting path that the Safavid and Pahlavi kings have tried before.
I wish all diplomats and politicians who deal with Iran be mandated to read this timely and important book.

Excellent history of Iran from Safavid era to near present.
The author digs a little deeper than most history writers in to the circumstances beyond the immediate political leadership. Looking and the culture and circumstances contributing to changes in Iran over the centuries. The coverage of the Islamic Revolution was particularly good and saddening as the people looked to the Ayatollah for deliverance, and ended up trading a bad tyrant for a far worst tyrant.
My only complaint was the lack of depth in covering foreign relations, especially in the post revolutionary era. Did Iran or did they not, and to what extent did the government fund terrorist groups and activity. The author does not even touch this issue.
Definitely recommend this book.

Fantastic Vignette into Irans Modern History
A foundational work for anyone interested in Iranian history and it’s tumultuous present.
The ending epilogue masterfully draws on common threads throughout ages and allows a reader with knowledge of current events to appreciate the qanat like undercurrents that have been in the making for centuries to surface.
The performance has frequent prononciation mistakes when reading the Farsi equivalent of some words but overall job well done!

Please Don't Use the British accent
I noticed that the British accent used in the narration sometimes made it challenging to distinguish between words like "Shahr" (city) and "Shah" (king). As someone who speaks Persian, I could infer the meaning from context, but it occasionally made note-taking a bit difficult. I hope future narrators working on ethnic or non-Anglosphere content can strive for pronunciations that closely match the original language to enhance listener comprehension.

Wordy….
Off in tangents here and there…the end skips over the 8 year war with Iraq, and tends to lose it’s way thereafter.
