His frustration is expressed through scholarly concerns for how change over time can be lost by terms which don't embrace a full history. It is also worth noting that Kartouzian's definition of Persia firmly includes Greater Khorasan, stretching through modern-day Northern Afghanistan, Turkmenistan and southern Uzbekistan. He has little time for modern conventions he views as counterproductive to knowledge. And the book is good: Katouzian covers major developments thoroughly, and takes the time to discuss both dynasties as a whole, and the features of individual rulerships within it.
As is the case with almost every history I have read of this region, he gives his viewpoint on some of the bigger debates with little regard to explaining other points of view.
This is especially true around his dating of Zorastrianism, a phenomenon he dates much later than others, later indeed than even the early Achaemenids, leading to a somewhat different definition of the religion itself. More than half the book is set in the modern era, where Katouzian gives more references to other scholarship and engages with various modes. It was an interesting perspective, and one I know I will reflect on as I read some more on this topic. I would highly recommend this as a one-volume history of Persia, although I would suggest breaking such an immense history into more manageable chunks for most readers.
