3/29/2024 0 Comments Abbas milani eminent persiansIts not the first book by Abbas Milani I have read, Persian Sphinx was the first book which I got to know him by, and what I like most about Mialni's books, is that through painstaking research and candid examination backed by documented evidence, Milani doesn't just collate the myths as the definite history, he is in fact a myth buster. Eminent Persians is like a fun way of reading tens of biographies in one book within the context of what happened between 19 in Iran. I have always been interested in reading biographies and been fascinated to learn why people become who they are and how the environment and the era shapes their way of thinking. As it says on the back cover of the book, Eminent Persians provides a panoramic narrative of what made modern Iran through the lens of individual lives, between 1941 and the Islamic revolution in 1979. Over the last few days, whenever I have had a moment to myself in the midst of all the festive mayhem, I have been reading Abbas Milani's Eminent Persians.
