Welcome to Litsy!

I found much of it dry. There was a lot of politics, attempts to oust the Prime Minister and vice versa, foreign negotiations with the USA and Britain. There wasn‘t as much biography as I was expecting; it was more political history than anything. There was a lot of information I didn‘t know about Iran, so I did learn some things. I do feel like some photos would have been nice to be included in the book, but there were none

Top notch work of a reliable and academic historian. This is by far the most unbiased book I as an avid reader of history have read on Pahlavi dynasty in Iran. Fabulous narration along with meticulous choice of words representing a painstaking process research. Something you especially Iranian fellows would not put down easily. Viva Abbas Milani
