Iran: A Modern History is a history book by Abbas Amanat, historian and university professor, first published in 2017 by Yale University Press. The book, which took nearly twenty years to complete, offers an account and analysis of five centuries of Iranian history—from the background leading to the rise of the Safavid dynasty to the Green Movement of 2009. Iran was generally well received by critics.
