Persia Will Never Bow Its Head

When the war between the United States and Iran resumes, and the powder keg in the Middle East is rekindled, the world is asking: Why has this country been besieged, sanctioned, and threatened again and again, but it has never bowed its head? The answer may go back five hundred years. That year, Iran was torn into pieces, with its feudal lords separatist, surrounded by foreign enemies, and the old dynasty completely collapsed. An exiled boy, only twelve years old, drew his sword from the dense forest by the Caspian Sea. His name is Ishmael. He gathered desperadoes, ignited thousands of followers with religious fanaticism, and swept across the plateau and desert with iron-blooded war. From a fugitive that no one expected, to stepping into Tabriz and being crowned king; from a place on the edge of tribal warfare, to personally building a large empire spanning the entire West Asia - the Safavid dynasty, which was born. But he established more than just a dynasty. He reshaped Iran's faith, national identity and national will, and forged a piece of loose sand into an Iran that would dare to confront foreign powers and stand tall in the flames of war. What the world is witnessing today is missile, oil and nuclear crises; what this book is about to write about is the spiritual source behind all these. The young man came out of the mountain, founded the country with blood and fire, all the armies bowed their heads, and the fate of the world changed. Open this book and you will see: why Iran became the Iran it is today.
