New Book: Unparalleled Journey by Arya Abbas Amirie

nine who raised lambs to subsidize his school expenses, Arya Abbas Amirie rose to international prominence as a consultant to one of the most powerful political leaders in the Middle East as well as to the leader of the free world.

In December of 1957, Amirie journeyed to New York with $630.00 in his pocket and an English vocabulary of fewer than 40 words. Set on a higher education, he far exceeded his initial expectations by earning a Ph.D., a professorship and the honor of delivering the Commencement Address to the 1975 graduating class of his alma mater.

Teaching at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio, Dr. Amirie formed a KSU student group, which traveled to his native Iran where they studied for a year. That endeavor led to his establishing an international research center to advise the Shah on foreign policy. Through an incredible series of daring events, Amirie returned to the U.S., teaching at UCLA and advising President Ronald Reagan on Middle Eastern affairs.

Unparalleled Journey is a story of determination, focus and the audacity to dream on a scale beyond any his family or peers could have envisioned. This book is a must-read for those who aim to achieve high goals.

Paperback is now available; hardbound will be available on May 15th.
