About this title: In this book, the author brings a mythographer's perspective and 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.

"Kapuscinski is a favorite author of mine and this book shows him at his best, entering a world and telling an essential story that a journalist from a superpower would never have been able to tell."
"A good book. I think it is helpful to come into the book with an understanding of the history of that time. It would be a hard book to come at with no information. This book gives depth to characters and places that I have read about in other books written from a historical perspective."
