The author has attempted in this article to have a glance on the texts about political and social history in contemporary Iran. They form a part of the material taught in political courses in Iranian universities. The author gives his perception about the problem and weak points of the texts. The texts are divided into two parts: Those written primarily as textbooks, and those written for other purposes, but used as textbooks.

The textbooks examined are those used by university professors. The research method of the article is descriptive and analytical.
