The Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the man who ruled Iran in excess and fear, and lost his country to the Ayatollah Khomeini, has become a faint memory. Shawcross resurrects the Shah and his last months of life in exile while recalling the events and cast of international players that conspired to elevate him to his place of world prominence before turning him into a pariah and political dynamite for the United States and its allies. Although well written, the book contributes very little that is new. Libraries with established collections in this area will already have Fereydoun Hoveyda s Fall of the Shah and Amin Saikal s Rise and Fall of the Shah (both reviewed in LJ 4/15/80)both are good. If not, Shawcross s book will suffice. BOMC alternate. David P. Snider, Casa Grande P.L., Ariz.
