Nonsense story !
If I write a story about a country that I never set foot on probably is going to be Philip Kaplan book.
Mistook Iran with an Arabic country. Rarely a Persian names are used in the book, mostly Arabic names. The atmosphere described in the book don't resemble Shah time Iran. Savak brutality, woman with Neghab in Mehrabad air port ? give me a break !
I never saw neghab in my life until I arrived in Canada, let alone in Mehrabad air port where usually women wearing mini joups.
