The History Of Iran By Elton L. Daniel
With almost three thousand years of history, Iran is home to one of the world's richest and most complex cultures. Yet to the average American the name Iran probably conjures up an image of a remote and upstart country inhabited by a people whose religious fanaticism is matched only by the intensity of their disdain for the United States and its values, who speak an obscure tongue called Farsi, and whose identity is not clearly distinguished from that of their Arab neighbors. This work offers an objective and engagingly written portrait of the Iranian people and their complex history from the perspective of one of the world's foremost experts on the country. It is ideal for student use and for the interested reader.

This is my research source for our history paper. I am focusing on the Parthian and Sassanian empire and there violent occupation of the country of Armenia. This is a textbook, there isn't much information that is not straight fact. The information is very dense and i often find my self losing focus and place by the end of a paragraph. It has numerous amounts of facts and concepts that will be useful in my paper. However it will be hard to get quotes and and personal experiences.
