Don Juan of Persia: A Shi'Ah Catholic is a book written by G. Le Strange that tells the story of a Persian prince named Juan who converted to Catholicism. The book explores Juan's life and the challenges he faced as a member of the Shi'ah sect of Islam, which was the dominant religion in Persia at the time. It also delves into the history of Persia during the 17th century and the political and religious conflicts that shaped the country. The book is a fascinating look at the intersection of religion, politics, and culture in Persia during this period, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the Middle East.1926.
