Shikast-i shāhānah (ravānshinasī shakhsīyat-i shāh): Persiska (Farsi) 1401

Marvin Zunis tries to provide a psychological analysis of the rise and fall of Mohammad Reza Shah in the book "Royal Defeat" by examining numerous documents and interviewing the survivors of the Pahlavi regime. Who were the sources of the king's psychological power to rule? How did the events of his childhood reflect in his adulthood and how did they affect the quality of his rule? How did the Shah react to important historical events, including the 1332 hijri coup, and how can a psychological analysis be obtained from these reactions? In the last days leading to the Islamic revolution, what behavior did the Shah show? What psychological ups and downs did his relationship with the United States go through? Why did the people of Iran finally not accept the Shah as a person of great power and how can this phenomenon be analyzed?
