 Foreign Affairs - Book Review - The Shah And I: The Confidential Diary Of Iran's Royal Court, 1969-77 - Asadollah Alam, ...
Asadollah Alam, introduced and edited by Alinaqi Alikhani.
The diary is filled with insights concerning the shah, his character, the court's stifling atmosphere, forebodings of the revolution to come, the relationship with Israel and hints of illegal involvement with the 1972 Nixon reelection campaign.
Ironically, Alam seems to have genuinely admired the shah, but his diary will do nothing to salvage his patron's historical reputation.

 TCS Daily - A Revolution's Lessons
Marvin Zonis (who was one of my professors when I was in graduate school) noted this wariness in his psychological profile of the Shah.
When the Islamic Revolution of the late 1970s came around, there were no leaders like 'Alam to urge the Shah to repeat the clampdown of 1963 in order to preserve his reign.
Additionally, as Zonis points out and as the Shah himself hints to in his own autobiography, the Shah was reluctant to crack down on the protestors because he didn't feel that he had the backing of the United States to do so.

In a page from his memoirs, Asadollah Alam, a long time Minister in the Shah's court, recalls how the Shah was upset when even after his death, Takhti had remained a celebrity and legend to the people.
Alam states that Takhti had been "unable to cope with his loss of popularity and had been embarrassed about his support for the failed Mossadegh regime, leading him to decide on suicide".
Whatever actually happened to Takhti, the Iranians never forgave the Shah's government for killing their Pahlavan and never forgot his memory.

 Historical Setting
The Alam government had opened talks with the National Front leaders earlier in the year, but no accommodation had been reached, and the talks had broken down over such issues as freedom of activity for the front.
As a result, the front was not represented in the elections, which were limited to the officially sanctioned parties, and the only candidates on the slate were those presented by the Union of National Forces, an organization of senior civil servants and officials and of workers' and farmers' representatives, put together with government support.
In March 1964, Alam resigned and the shah appointed Mansur prime minister, at the head of an Iran Novin-led government.

Yet while the poorer Iranians were powerless to influence the shah, the middle class traditionalists were able to have some influence, particularly as more and more of them were mobilized by the messages of the Ayatollah Khomeini.
Thus, under successive prime ministers Ali Amini and Asadollah Alam in the 1960s, Tehran experienced its first socialist programs of the modern era in response to traditionalist demand.
Amini implemented governmental land distribution, while Alam, under the plan of the “white revolution,” added programs for industrial worker profit sharing, forest nationalization, and the sale of government factories for revenue.

Farmers in Iran's southeastern Sistan va Baluchistan Province depend on water from Afghanistan's extensively used Hirmand (Helmand) River to irrigate their crops, and the division of the waters has been a contentious issue for many years.
In March 1969, for example, Kabul would agree to ensure water flow to Iran only in exchange for credit facilities, improved access to Iranian ports, and development assistance, according to the diaries of Iranian Minister of Court Asadollah Alam ("The Shah and I," Alinaghi Alikhani, ed., London, 1991).
And when the Afghan legislature discussed a new agreement on the Hirmand in October 1972, Tehran feared that it would be costly: Iranian monarch Mohammad Reza Pahlavi said, "authorize him [the Iranian ambassador to Kabul] to make the payoffs if you really think they're necessary."

Hence, though the implications of the change cannot yet be fully assessed, a new look should be taken at Iran's political prospects.
