Shah of Shahs by Ryszard Kapuscinski
In Shah of Shahs Kapuscinski brings a mythographer's perspective and a novelist's virtuosity to bear on the overthrow of the last Shah of Iran, one of the most infamous of the United States' client-dictators, who resolved to transform his country into a second America in a generation, only to be toppled virtually overnight. From his vantage point at the break-up of the old regime, Kapuscinski gives us a compelling history of conspiracy, repression, fanatacism, and revolution.Translated from the Polish by William R. Brand and Katarzyna Mroczkowska-Brand.Ryszard Kapuscinski, Poland's most famous foreign journalist, was born in Pinsk (now Belarus) in 1932 and spent his career covering Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Imperium, Another Day of Life, and The Soccer War are among his works. His books have been published in 28 different languages. In 2007, Kapuscinski passed away.
