In this article, the author tries to have a glance on the texts about political and social history in contemporary Iran (a course taught in political science discipline in Iranian universities), and give an understanding about the difficulties observed about these texts. The texts are divided into two parts: Those written as textbooks, and those written for other purposes, but used as textbooks. Some elements are considered as the necessities of these textbooks: To be published as a book; to adapt with the conditions considered by the ministry of science, research and technology in Iran; to be free from bias; and so on.
The textbooks are those used by the university professors. The method in this article is descriptive and analytical.
