Persian Sphinx : Amir Abbas Hoveyda and the Riddle of the Iranian Revolution Book
by Abbas (Chair, Department of History and Political Science, College of Notre Dame, USA) Milani
Book
Description
Amir Abbas Hoveyda was an Iranian intellectual, more comfortable with Sartre than with the classical Persian poet Saadi, who rose to become his country's Prime Minister, faithfully and for 13 years serving his king.
The tragic Shakespearian tale of Hoveyda, who allowed himself to be seduced by the illusion of power, makes for fascinating reading.
This work provides a narrative which illuminates the life of Iran's most pivotal and enigmatic 20th century figures but also sheds important light on Iran's late 20th century history.
