	Shahnameh (The Epic of Kings): The Shahs of Old
		Men and beasts from all parts of the earth came to do him homage and receive laws at his hands, and his glory was like to the sun.
		For he first gave to men fire, and showed them how to draw it from out the stone; and he taught them how they might lead the rivers, that they should water the land and make it fertile; and he bade them till and reap.
		And the Shah feared Kaweh's wrath, beholding that it was great, and he granted him the life of his son and sought to win him with soft words.

	Ryszard Kapuscinski, Shah of Shahs
		Now the most important moment, the moment that will determine the fate of the country, the Shah, and the revolution, is the moment when one policeman walks from his post toward one man on the edge of the crowd, raises his voice, and orders the man to go home.
		It is not known whether the Shah was shown the pictures of this square photographed by the police after the massacre.
		The anniversary of the Shah's departure and the fall of the monarchy was approaching.

		Then he beheld the Shah seated upon the throne of the Kaianides, bearing his crown upon his head, and on his right hand sat Karun the Pehliva, and he bade Saum be seated on his left.
		And Saum dictated a letter to the Shah, and he spoke therein of all he had done for Minuchihr, and how he had killed the dragon that had laid waste the land, how he had ever subdued the foes of Iran, and how the frontiers were enlarged by his hands.
		And men of might came unto Saum and laid before him their plaints, and the petitions of the people, and they prayed that he would wrest the crown from the head of Nauder, and place it upon his own.

	Book Review - "Shah of Shahs"
		He begins with a photo of two men; one being a man in chains, who was responsible for assassinating Shah Nasr-ed-Din in 1896; the other his capturer, a soldier who is the grandfather of the last Shah.
		The Shah left before this and returned after the coup was completed; Mossadegh being replaced with General Zahedi, the Western oil companies compensated, gaining a 50% stake in the oil industry.
		Shah of Shahs is a masterful work of literary journalism made richer due to the personal experience of the author (he has witnessed 27 revolutions or coups).

	Women Under the Pahlavi Shahs
		Although the WOI could not enact changes without the consensus of the Shah, and was viewed by many as an ineffective puppet party, it did play a role in the advancement of Iranian Women.
		Iranian men had the right to the children in case of divorce, controlled the wife’s ability to travel, and decided if she could work.
		The Passport law that required women to have their husband’s permission to travel, Article 179 that allowing a man to go unpunished for killing his wife should she be found in bed with another man, and the inheritance laws that gave outrageously disproportionate sums to daughters, were not changed.

		Now it came about that the mother of Feridoun feared lest the Shah should destroy the child if he learned that he was sprung from Jemshid's race.

	National Review: A Very Elegant Coup - "All The Shah's Men: An American Coup and the Roots of Middle East Terror" - ...
		In pre-Pahlavi days, shahs of Iran had engaged in incessant warfare with their neighbors, the rival Muslim rulers of Ottoman Turkey and Afghanistan, and the czars of Russia.
		Mohammad Reza Shah was still young and inexperienced, and Mossadegh judged that the surefire way to overthrow him was to attack the British.
		When the shah returned from Baghdad, he misread the outcome of the coup as evidence of his popularity; he came to believe that he could modernize Iran as he saw fit.

	Statues of Shahs Torn Down in Iran
		Control of the Army, long a subject of bitter dispute between Dr. Mossadegh and the Shah's partisans, apparently was won for the Premier by wholesale retirement in the past year of senior officers, including the Chief of Staff and virtually all the top echelon, and their replacement by younger men of the Premier's choosing.
		The Shah fled in his private plane when he learned of the failure to dislodge Dr. Mossadegh who, the Shah feared, was leading the country toward communism by the tolerance shown the Tudeh (Communist) party both in streets and in Government posts.
		For two hours, men sawed at the ankles of the bronze statue, while others, chanting songs written overnight on the flight of the Shah, heaved on ropes looped around the figure.

		And above all it behoveth not me that am a Shah, for the Shah is called to be a hero among men, and the world should be his footstool.
		But when the men of Iran had ceased from killing, they sent news thereof unto the Shah, and told him of the riches that were hidden within the palaces.
		And the Shah cried in his distress- "O Zal, O my Pehliva wise and great, wherefore did I shut mine ear unto thy voice!" And the army echoed his words in their hearts, but their lips were silent for boundless sorrow.

		Although the Shah had greatest respect and tolerance for sunnites, it was always better to have a faithfull population where ever possible.
		The Shah was often unavailible, sitting in a close room in the palace, discussing strategy with one of his advisors it was said.
		The Shah waited for five years, until his peace treaty with the Turks had expired, then a war decleration was issued once again.

	The Lion Shahs
		While the new Shah, the son of Carmandar, openly professed the supremacy of the light, few among the Carmanians were so outspoken.
		The Shah is fighting the EWF and allying with Karvanyar to throw the Golden Dragon out of Dara Happa; his half-brother Survilstar ("Sir Wilistor" of the earliest texts) is going among the barbarians to slay dragons in the wilds of Brolia.
		Then Shah Nadar told him of the Anabasis of Syranthir, of how the founder of Carmania had been driven out from his homeland and forced into distant exile; he appealed for the aid of the Dara Happans in punishing this usurpation, this crime of two centuries before.

		All the Shah's Men: An American Coup and the Roots of Middle East Terror, Stephen Kinzer, John Wiley and Sons: 258 pp., $24.95.

		The writing of "All the Shah's Men" was made possible, as Kinzer says in his acknowledgments, by the research and writing of Mark Gasiorowski and other scholars.

	Shah of Shahs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		This book is an artfully-written collection of some reflections on the last Shah of Iran and the Islamic Revolution.
		Kapuscinski writes one of the most accessible, entertaining histories that I''ve ever read in Shah of Shahs; and in so doing allows the American reader some glimpse into what things were like in Iran during the heady, confusing days of the Iranian revolution.
		While readable, this book is also rather challenging as it tends to speak to subjects that Americans don''t know about and uses terms and devices that many may not be ready to see in a work of non-fiction.

	The Bull Shahs
		The Shah rode to the palace, to find the Senators clad not in the golden robes of rule, but the austere white of the Dayzatar monastics, their heads shaven in the ancient manner.
		Bisoshan was one of the many sons of the Shah of Carmania who served in the foreign services.
		Ends with the Shah-maat (Nick says: that's the original Persian for 'checkmate': "the Shah is Dead"; good, eh?): the death of the first and last Shahs (the divine King Karmanos, and his last unworthy descendent) at the Battle of the Four Arrows of Light, and the end of the Carmanian Empire.

		If this is what actually happened, it is shame not to have some memoires from the men themselves.
		Since Han China and Rome traded silk for gold by way of Parthia, which endeavored to conceal knowledge of each from each other, any occasions for common knowledge would be extraordinary.
		Iran became a kind of Great Power in the Persian Gulf, and with expensive pageantry the Shah's belated coronation and then the supposed 2500th anniversary of the Persian Empire (from 525 BC?) were celebrated.

	Friend sweeps office rage under the rug
		The office in which I hid in my youth wasn't completely lacking in men, but since the men were our peers instead of our bosses, we didn't have to waste our time hating them.
		As a bell-bottomed moron disguised as a Kelly Girl, I'd learned that men weren't just the kings of the world, but the czars and shahs of the '70s office, and I'd sooner have croaked than have worked for one.
		It wasn't that I hated men per se (I was living with one named Drughead Jones at the time); it was just that whenever a man told me to do something, my brain erupted and flew like hot lava directly out of my eyes, ears and nostrils.

		Kapuscinskis "I am a camera" technique gives voices to many different voices of the Islamic revolution in Iran, but the best part of the book is the way it demonstrates the folly and sheer bad timing of the Shah.
		This book has a kind of torque: as the Shahs reign gets closer to the end, events seem to speed up.
		The Shah and his circle must make more decisions more rapidly, and they come up short.

		His account of the Shahs final days is balanced, interesting, and clearly written.
		Issues like the Ayatollah Khomeinis consolidation of power, and the hostage crisis, are treated only peripherally to the extent they are relevant to the strange odyssey on which the Shah embarked.
		There is, for example, for more information about the "political" bickering among the many physcians retained to treat the Shahs cancer than about American and international efforts to obtain the release of the hostages.

		That verdict, of course, discounts the whirlwind of 1979, when the Shah was overthrown by furious Shi'ite mobs whipped up by the Ayatollah Khomeini, who quickly spawned the terrorists of Hezbollah and other groups who plague us today.
		Kinzer's hero worship of Mossadegh and neglect of all other Iranian interests of the period (the Shah barely registers as a character, for example) is also problematic in its one-sidedness.
		What made the landscape explosive was the resignation, in 1941, of Reza Shah, Iran's king, and the subsequent emergence of Mossadegh, and a person who rested much of his political fortune on the nationalization of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Corporation (in 1951).

		There are accounts of bribes, staged riots, suitcases full of cash, and midnight meetings between the Shah and CIA agent Kermit Roosevelt, who was smuggled in and out of the royal palace under a blanket in the back seat of a car.
