Book of the Week: The Persian Night.

In tune with the generally-more-serious-than-I-personally-like kind of weekend that we’ve had here, we now replace Death from the Skies!: These Are the Ways the World Will End . . . with The Persian Night: Iran under the Khomeinist Revolution.  Personally, I’d have preferred something a bit less unfortunately pertinent to current events, but Michael Totten insists that people need to read this, and he’s one of the go-to new media guys on the region.
