Gr 6 Up Spencer briefly mentions Iran's long history, but concentrates on the problems dominating its relationship with the U.S. He offers a balanced approach and places responsibility for the misunderstandings on both governments. He examines the shifts in the relationship and the end of Iran's monarchy and its present day theocracy. His clear, direct explanations and illustrative comments will be understandable to students who have little knowledge of the conflicts or religions involved. Two full page, black and white maps showing modern Iran and the ancient Persian Empire are easily interpreted. A few average quality, black and white photos and illustrations are scattered throughout. An extensive bibliography and source notes are included. Up to date information presented in an accessible format. Carol Durusau, Newton County Public Library, Covington, GA
