    <body><![CDATA[There were a lot of things about Iran's pre-Revolutionary history that I wasn't aware of, misconceptions about why the Revolution happened, a mistaken understanding of the Shah's rule, the war with Iraq, etc. This book did a lot to help me sort out this essential historical context, and provided a great narrative to boot. Even though it's fiction, and a comic book, its almost mandatory reading for anyone desiring to understand or comment on present-day foreign policy with Iran. ]]></body>
