{"product_id":"the-iranian-labyrinth-dilip-hiro-9781560257165","title":"The Iranian Labyrinth: Journeys Through Theocratic Iran and Its Furies","description":"As Tehran faces a crisis in its escalating showdown with the International Atomic Energy Agency regarding its nuclear program, renowned Middle East expert Dilip Hiro clears the way through the labyrinth that defines today's Islamic Republic. In a country stereotyped as fundamentalist by America, Hiro finds a contradictory land -- where black chador-clad women are the majority at universities, Iranian films are shown at international festivals, and human rights lawyer Shirin Ebadi is a Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. Drawing on Iran's rich history, its vast oil and gas reserves, and its unique strategic importance, Hiro reveals a complex nation whose theocratic rulers are struggling to prove that Islamic democracy is a viable and enduring social system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dilip Hiro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1560257164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781560257165\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bold Type Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.80w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2005 pg. 524\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2005 pg. 62\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2007 pg. 56","brand":"Dilip Hiro","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44124871819519,"sku":"9781560257165","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a8b320e9-1058-4419-92af-704056cb8d55.jpg?v=1687439312","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-iranian-labyrinth-dilip-hiro-9781560257165","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
