One good book I’d recommend is Paul Kriwaczek’s In Search of Zarathustra: Across Iran and Central Asia to Find the World's First Prophet. It’s sort of a cross between cultural history and personal travelogue, but it’s a very enjoyable read.
Check out All the Shah's Men by Stephen Kinzer.
It's an easy and compelling read which ought to raise many questions and spur further curiosity on the subject. If you get through that, try giving this gem a go. It's an easy read that give a sweeping overview of religious developments through the region. Many debatable points made by the author, but an easy starting point to branch out from.
I don't rant much on the topic. Generally the ranting people are oversimplifying matters and attempting to reconcile their personal bias with reality. Be attentive of the people willing to step back and question what they think they know about this diverse region.
