IRAN

by Alice Taylor ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 15, 1955

As adequate introductory material this fits nicely into the pattern of other books in the series (see South Africa by Alice Taylor, Yugoslavia by George Kish, etc.). Geography, a few historical highlights, living conditions among the nomads and towns-people, crafts such as rug making and their economic and cultural importance- these are among basic topics commented upon. There is reference too, to the huge oil industry and the involving political situation, which, though stated in the abstract, is accurate.
