Not perfect (I wish all of the daguerreotypes were included and the structure can be a bit all over the place) but the prose is absolutely beautiful and it tells a super emotional compelling story and portrait of Iran and its people around the war. If you’re looking for a historical account you’ll be dissapointed (its more the collected journal entries of a fantastic writer to be honest) but if you care about the how and why of the revolution and not when where and what happened you will fall in love with this
