The Shah was right about everything. It doesn’t make him a saint. It does not in any way vindicate the excesses of his rule and regime. But it makes the man right about what he saw, and especially elevates his pragmatism and prognosis about the future from his own perspective up to the visionary level. His ANSWER TO HISTORY must now now be considered one of the most important pieces of modern Iranian political literature written over the past one-hundred and fifty years.
Ruh-i-Mohammad Reza Pahlavi shaad!
