As I said, I think the book is in dire need of editing. I also noticed that Mossadegh get's hardly any mention, that should never be when discussing the problems of modern-day Iran. However, the meat of the book is excellent, and the author's delivery and writing is strong with exposition and incite.
Americans are too ignorant of the origins and history of Iran. This author shows the reader that there was Iran/Persia way before there was a Muhammed, or even a Caesar. I admire this man and all Iranians who who will never surrender their heritage. Furthermore, very few books are out there which discuss the positive work that was being done by the Shah. And the Rafsanjani family investments in Canada should be big news. That Rafsanjani is one of the most corrupt and hypocritical mullahs in iran today. He and his son and daughter (this daughter who, by the way, gave an interview in a London apartment wearing stiletto-high heels and sheer stockings when innocent Iranian omen were being harassed and beaten by the morals police for their dress code...See what I mean by hypocrites?) have been taking money out of Iran for years. Yet the Western media loves posing Rafsanjani as a "moderate."
I'll be leaving a review for this book on Amazon.
Although the book is in dire need of an editor I am still enjoying and learning from it. The author writes with an urgent passion and a slick sense of humor. What he is saying are many of the things I noticed myself about what Iran used to be and what it has become; what the Shah wanted for his nation and the things he did and the exaggerations and lies that have been told about him since 1979. this man was no despot or evil tyrant. Rather if anything he considered hitting back too harshly. I remember hearing that Saddam offered to have Khomeini killed and the Shah refused it. Another example was when his generals wanted to step up the crack down on dissidents and other anti-government factions, again the Shah wouldn't allow any increased actions against these people. Mohammed Reza Shah has had quite an injustice done to him by the historians. It's a shame. One other thing I noticed is hardly any mention of Mossadegh (by the way thanks for the CIA/Iran Connection email) in this book.
as you say about God... i couldn't agree with you more! i always felt here we are all believing in the basics: In One All-Loving God (Be He called Yahweh, Jesus, Allah, Ahura Mazda/Ormazd) and pray and swear to fight the Evil one (Satan, Iblis, Angra Manyu/Ahriman) and what do we do? We instead insult, hurt and kill each other in the Name of God and foolishly do what the Evil one desires from us. Do you understand what I mean?
