Editorial Reviews

Review

"A remarkable reinterpretation of history...it has opened new vistas on the chequered history of an enduring process which lasted some two centuries…Newman has succeeded in drawing the attention of the reading community to an outstanding epoch in the history of a land which has recently acquired and provoked a remarkable attention…For the insight and elaborate dissection of historical events, we shall be eternally indebted to this contribution." - Amidu Olalekan Sanni, Journal of Oriental and African Studies



Product Description

The Safavid period (1501-1722) is often viewed as the golden era in Iran's history, following the demise of the Sasanian Empire a thousand years earlier. In fact it represented a vital break with past Iranian history. Based on the latest in-depth research and historiography, Safavid Iran shows the extraordinary achievements of the Safavid period--political, economic and cultural. Andrew Newman examines art and architecture, philosophy, science and religion of the age and places them in the context of ruthless statecraft and institution-building.

4.0 out of 5 stars In The Name of Iran, June 8, 2006
This is a good book if you want to learn Safavid dynasty breifly.

The author researched on political dynamic, economic prosperity, and social condition of Safavid.

Saddly the book refered to Persian Gulf, as just Gulf. However, there is map which indicated Persian Gulf.
