Sommario/riassunto

Having described the rise of Reza Shah in a previous work, Majd completes the story by describing his downfall. Majd has searched the widely scattered U.S. diplomatic and military records extensively and supplemented the story with media reports. Over seventy years later, this interesting story is finally being told.
