Iran

About the Book

“Iran: A Civilization Under Siege” is about the ups and downs in the Middle East area for the past sixty years, as I remember. The troubles that were given to the Pahlavi dynasty by the international community, the spreading of communism around the Middle East. Also the Ghajar dynasty that ruled over three-hundred-plus years in my country, which stopped the nation from progress. I have opened up some of what I learned throughout my life about my country, and some are my educated opinion. I do hope that it would preserve my fighting spirit.

About the Author

I was born a couple of years after WWII in Tehran, Iran. I learned English at age seven, reading, writing, and speaking. Spent elementary, junior high, and high school and military school in my native country. Came to the United States in 1970, attended college, worked, and made family and career in the United States, and been in the United States since. I love history, especially of the Middle East, and events that have been going on in that region. As we do know that Middle East is a rich area, with resources, natural or human. Lots of science came from the region, and power of literature speaks for itself. I took writing as my hobby and wrote peaces and poetry, short stories of events. A book like this is long overdue, and I think that sixty years of my memories, witnessing all the changes, developments, downfalls, adversities, and a huge Western influence, and computer communications have changed the old civilization to an advanced ways of life. So one book is most of my poetry with story to enhance it, and the other is about the events in the region.
