Hossein Fardoost was born on March 2nd, 1996 in Tehran and died in the same city on May 28, 1996. He made his way to the Pahlavi court from his childhood and became a friend of the Crown Prince Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. According to Reza Shah's request, Fardost accompanied him on his educational trip to Switzerland and then maintained and promoted his close position in the court and the whole of Pahlavi rule throughout the reign of Mohammad Reza Shah. In this book, he says about his love for Mohammad Reza Shah: "Even after he left, I didn't want him to be sick, nor did I want him to be in trouble." But he was the one who thought that the nation should be indebted to him; That is when he put this nation in the worst condition. I was interested in providing a good life and entertainment for himself and his family with the money he had, and he had a lot of money. I wanted this in my heart, but abroad, he started giving daily and even television interviews and writing memoirs, which should not be less, and everywhere he introduced himself as the greatest servant of the nation and predicted dire consequences for the country after him, such as the disintegration of Iran. and civil war. The fault of reign is that when it is prolonged, it causes such a disease. In 1338, Fardost became the head of the King's special intelligence office and he held the position until the end of the Pahlavi period. His most important role in this organization was to explain and regularly present reports, information, news, and analyses of various intelligence, security, and law enforcement agencies of the country to the Shah. Until 1352, in addition to all his other positions, he was also the deputy head of SAVAK, but on the eve of the 1357 revolution, with the fall of the imperial army, he declared neutrality, and after the revolution, he cooperated with the regime in some issues related to intelligence and security mechanisms. This book is Hossein Fardoost's account of the developments and events during the reign of the two Pahlavi kings and includes various fields of domestic and foreign politics, social, cultural, economic, military, intelligence, security, and parts of the private life of the royal family and agents of the Pahlavi rule. The publication of these memoirs has been well received so far.
