Immortal

Immortal Book Description

This book is the only single-volume English-language survey of Iran's military history. The book describes Iran's soldiers, from the famed "Immortals" of ancient Persia to today's Revolutionary Guard, from the founding of ancient Persia's empire through the Iran-Iraq War and up to the present. Using newly declassified documents, the author gives primary focus to the modern era and shows that even with the military collapsing during the Islamic revolution they came back from the ashes and became a major regional military power once again.
