Customer Reviews

Excellent read!

Dehqani-Tafti was the first (and only) Anglican Bishop of Iran, from 1961 until he was forced to flee Iran during the Revolution. There are many reasons one might want to read this book -- for me, one element was his insider's look at the changes in Iran as it slid down from a tolerant society into militant chaos, a perspective not available to many Americans whose only knowledge of Iran began with the hostages. (Sadly, I am here because our copy has somehow disappeared from our bookshelves at home.)
