NOVEMBER 2006, Book Review: Arms and Armor from Iran

The book Arms and Armor from Iran: The Bronze Age to the End of the Qajar Period is written by Mr. Manouchehr Moshtagh Khorasani and is the result of years of research and reading by the respected author, who analyzed the inventories of arms and armor from important museums in Iran, dating from the pre-historical times to the end of the Qajar period. This book contains the most complete, academic, and scientific research that has been written on the military equipment and arms and armor of this country. Taking a detailed, scientific analysis and research of historical and cultural backgrounds, art historian aspects, and the manufacturing methods, the book offers a comprehensive and timely source for all scholars, researchers, and lovers of Iranian history and archaelogy. I hope that this respected scholar will continue his valuable research and activities to further present the art, the culture, and the history of Iran.
