Tārīkh-i milal: Persiska (Farsi) 1401

World history is written from the limited perspective of a single author and a single point of view, which leads to inevitable bias. However, in this "History of Nations" book, twenty-eight different writers and scholars from around the world contribute and provide fascinating and often passionate accounts of their nation's history. The countries that appear in the history of nations have been chosen to represent each continent: large and small; mature democracies and religious autocracies; Governments that have existed for thousands of years. Each of these countries has a different relationship with history. In the United States, for example, the myth of the nation's "unprecedentedness" persists, but in China history seems to play an important role in legitimizing three thousand years of imperial power. "History wars" have been fought over textbook content in countries as diverse as Australia, Russia, and Japan. Some countries, such as Iran or Egypt, have a magnificent ancient history that cannot be ignored today.
