Lifting the Veil - Life in Revolutionary Iran by John Simpson
and Tira Shubart Published 1995 - This is a book for those who want to gain some understanding of the complexities of Islam, from the days of the Shah and some insight into the part played by the West and the prejudices on both sides. The text covers time spent with diverse individuals and groups, often in difficult conditions. Written with great warmth and in a very accessible style. Not for those who want life to be simplistic.
