About The Author	James Buchan studied Persian and Arabic at Oxford University and spent twelve years as foreign correspondent of the Financial Times. His books, both fiction and non-fiction, have won a number of leading literary prizes and have been translated into fifteen or more languages.
	'James Buchan trains a more scientific eye on how Iran's wealth-creator king was replaced with a Shia divine uninterested in modern government. He mines the literature in Persian and English to better effect than any historian so far . . . Why did the shah's subjects not accept his notion of history racing to a conclusion in prosperity's glow? In this fine, elegantly written book, Mr Buchan lays out the answer in detail'
Other text	An insider's view of one of the events that shaped the modern world.
