Fall of the Shah
: Simon & Schuster, 1980. . J, H, Binding is tight, usual wear, "The author gives ungrudging credit to the Shah's early successes at modernization and liberalization but watches in horror as the Shah becomes increasingly dictatorial, reclusive, and unpredictable. ...Ambassador Hoveyda gives us insights into America's mishandling of the Shah's downfall and the causes of the revolution, which led to the rise of the Ayatollah Khomeini. With the last days of Richard Nixon clear in our eyes, [the author's] speculations on the corrupting influence of power hit home with particular force.", 221 pages.; . Good +, Hard Cover, Good, .
