Vatanka’s storytelling ability and research make this the single best book about Iranian politics I have read. He is also blunt and objective. I reviewed it in @tabletmag.com and I hope it is the best review he ever got. ]]> AuthorFollowing102278204 Tue, 11 Jun 2024 19:46:10 -0700 <![CDATA[<AuthorFollowing id=102278204 user_id=178932488 author_id=1048253>]]> Review6579733954 Tue, 11 Jun 2024 19:45:29 -0700 <![CDATA[Peter added 'American Voodoo: with William Faulkner in Louisiana']]> /review/show/6579733954 American Voodoo by Joseph Theroux Peter gave 5 stars to American Voodoo: with William Faulkner in Louisiana (Kindle Edition) by Joseph Theroux
