Hopefully someone can put a link to amazon here so IC gets credit, it is essential reading for all.
Here is a great new book to read, for clarity on why everyone in the USA is so secretive about Iran. Why retired US diplomats don’t even write 3 lines about the shah? It divulges never before known info that should be the basis for everyones views on Iran. The clear betrayal of the late Shah, leaving absolute fault with the USA up until and including today. I picked up the book expecting to read yet another book of lies and to my surprise found the book was about 40% full of good references. This book is rare in that it is actually trying to get to the truth without praising/condemning anyone. Giving details makes it substantial. It shows the past and today in clear terms that the media really does a great job covering up.
