Title: No Royal Blood
Review: I read this book with every expectation of a history of Iran during this period. Farah Diba writes a nice portrait of her husband, as if he were a benign leader and as if the Pahlavi family did good words. She omits that Amnesty International for years during the shah's reign said he had the worst human rights record in the world.The Pahlavi's have no royal blood, but Farah doesn't mention this either. The shah's fathter was a poor and crude military man who joined the Cossak brigade and overthrew the corrupt Qajar dynasty. Then he declared himself shah, and a corrupt one at that. "All the Shah's Men" is a fine book by a New York Times reporter that details this history.It seems nothing has changed about how the Pahalvi's spin a story. Farah writes a pleasant tale, but did she think we'd believe this? This isn't even complementary to the other real history books, it's a puff piece designed to aggrandize the Pahlavis.
