A Hell Worse Than War Itself

History and Politics Service of Iran Book News Agency (IBNA) – Anahid Khazir: Modern world revolutions complicated the formulation of civil war. In practice, revolution and civil war are indistinguishable; what differentiates them are the implicit promises in each and the interpretation given to them. History remembers civil wars as fruitless phenomena that bring only suffering and disaster, while revolutions are seen as platforms for innovation and progress. The book ‘Civil War; History in the Realm of Ideas’ (Shirazeh Publishing) is a reading to avoid surrendering to this theoretical shortcoming and to hope that civil war, like other ominous human inventions, can be abolished by humanity itself. We have conducted an interview with Amir Mirhaj, the book’s translator, which you can read below:
