An intimate and honest chronicle of the everyday life of Iranian women over the past century "A lesson about the value of personal freedom and what happens to a nation when its people are denied the right to direct their own destiny. This is a book Americans should read." --Washington Post The fifteenth of thirty-six children, Sattareh Farman Farmaian was born in Iran in 1921 to a wealthy and powerful shazdeh, or prince, and spent a happy childhood in her father's Tehran harem. Inspired and empowered by his ardent belief in education, she defied tradition by traveling alone at the age of twenty-three to the United States to study at the University of Southern California. Ten years later, she returned to Tehran and founded the first school of social work in Iran. Intertwined with Sattareh's personal story is her unique perspective on the Iranian political and social upheaval that have rocked Iran throughout the twentieth century, from the 1953 American-backed coup that toppled democratic premier Mossadegh to the brutal regime of the Shah and Ayatollah Khomeini's fanatic and anti-Western Islamic Republic. In 1979, after two decades of tirelessly serving Iran's neediest, Sattareh was arrested as a counterrevolutionary and branded an imperialist by Ayatollah Khomeini's radical students. Daughter of Persia is the remarkable story of a woman and a nation in the grip of profound change.Binding Type: Paperback

Awesome accompaniment to the games!
Format: Hardcover
This book is a huge win for my daughter! She loves it. She's playing through all the Assassin's Creed games and always tells me how the game graphics and story correlate beautifully with the book images. Accurate information that coincides with the games. Quality binding and pages. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who is a fan of the franchise. This makes an excellent gift.
