Description
The Fall of Heaven: A Gripping Portrait of Iran's Pahlavi Dynasty This immersive account of Iran's glamorous Pahlavi dynasty offers a remarkably human portrait of one of the twentieth century's most complicated personalities, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Drawing from the cooperation of key figures including Empress Farah and Iranian revolutionaries, Andrew Scott Cooper traces the Shah's life from childhood to his ascension to the throne in 1941. The book provides an exclusive look at the Shah's political career, courtship, marriage, and family, as well as life inside the palace during the Iranian Revolution. Through the eyes of those who were there, including US officials and American families caught up in the drama, Cooper delivers a sweeping narrative that recreates the dramatic final days of one of the world's most legendary ruling families. The Fall of Heaven ultimately reveals the fall of the Pahlavi dynasty through the perspectives of those who witnessed its demise, shedding light on the events that helped shape the current state of the Middle East.
