Okay, let’s be honest, the leadership of Iran hasn’t exactly been buddy-buddy with the folks in Washington for quite a while now. Despite that, the Islamic Republic of Iran is home to more than 66 million folks and has a highly developed economy and transportation network. So big things get built there.

This new book shows how. Heavy Hauling Iran, by Ralf Koch, is a hardcover volume with 159 color pages on heavy hauling on major Iranian highways between the Caspian Sea and the Persian Gulf. As the cover hints, Iran is a hotbed of very big-capacity Mack trucks. The book, with text in English and German, is $49.95 from Spaulding Trading and Shipping in West Salem, Wisconsin.
