4.0 out of 5 stars In the name of Iran, April 27, 2006
This is a great book to read about Safavid Empire roles in converting Persia to 12 Imam shiite. The book focused on two areas. One, how Friday pray became accpetable in shiite Iran, and direction of pray was indispute. Last, the mystery of hidden Imam.

The book did not focuse on one historical figure, the author discuused all the Safavid Kings.
