Comprehensive History of the Jews of Iran

"The history of the Jews of Iran is one of the most important chapters of Jewish history, yet it is also among the most obscure, as so little of it has been published. Considering the vastness of the Persian Empire during ancient times, Iran must be reckoned second only to Israel in importance to the study of Jewish history.".

"This book, the first comprehensive source on an important topic, not only describes briefly the history of Jews in ancient Iran (Persia) but covers all periods, particularly the 19th and 20th centuries."--BOOK JACKET.
