In preparation for our tour to Iran in October, I came across a book called Persian Mirrors: The Elusive Face of Iran, by Ealine Sciolino of the New York Times. The book is based on her experiences report in and about Iran from right before the revolution in the late 1970’s up to 2000 when the book was published. While it doesn’t cover the most current events it is a good look at Iran and it’s people, a little bit of history and the stories behind the stories. I am enjoying it quite a bit and am glad I found it!
