    Last Word on The Shah
  

*by J***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2019*

Abbas Milani has written the only book about the late Shah of Iran you will ever need. Much material based on  declassified materials this book explores many of the myths and historical revisionism that surrounds  the fall of the Iranian monarchy.  Professor Milani is scholar and historian and a trusted source on Iranian matters.

    Brilliant! Abbas Milani at his best!
  

*by S***1 on Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2016*

Abbas Milani in beautiful prose provides an in-depth overview of the Shah's rise and fall in an objective manner relying on primary sources (declassified documents), diary letters, and interviews with the people involved and in close proximity within the Shah's regime. I understand that some monarchists may feel that this book has a slant against the Shah; while those irrationally against the Shah may on the other hand feel that it to be in contrast be too positively reflect on the Shah. In reality, this is a nuanced book that provides in details the evidence of both the good and bad of the Shah and how this manifested with him at the helm of the Peacock Throne. I also enjoyed the fact that it provided quite some detailed sources on Reza Shah Khan's tenure as well as an objective outlook on the authoritarian tendencies of Mossadeq. The Shah certainly had lots of faults but the one thing that you cannot say is that he did not love his country. He wanted the best for his people and for his country and unfortunately Iran has gone only down hill since the regressive revolution of 1979. It is important that we all learn history in its most objective forms so that we can have a better understanding of the lessons history affords us in helping us become much wiser. This book has definitely been one of my favorite books of all time. A highly recommended read.

*by P***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2015*

Very complete picture of the history of the the Shah.  This book puts Prof. Milani in the ranks of those who understand the Middle East, and the (typically naive/misguided) role the West has played largely due to our poor understanding of middle eastern culture.  I would like to see more of Prof. Mlani's contributions to the op-ed pages in our press.  He seems to have a very balanced perspective of this part of our planet.
