Shah of ShahsRead about another entry on the list.
Ryszard Kapuscinski
A masterly piece of reportage from the firestorm of the Iranian revolution, Shah of Shahs details the twilight years of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the final Shah of Iran. A blistering account of paranoia, delusion and encroaching insurrection, Kapuscinski’s fast-paced narrative tells the dramatic story of a seismic fall from grace.
Shah of Shahs is among Elliot Ackerman's six favorite books on war and rebellion and Kamin Mohammadi's top ten Iranian books.
