Farewell Shiraz

An Iranian Memoir of Revolution and Exile

Beschreibung

Kadivar tells the story of his family and childhood against the tumultuous backdrop of 20th-century Iran, from the 1905-1907 Constitutional Revolution to the fall of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, before presenting accounts of his meetings with key witnesses to the Shah's fall and the rise of Khomeini. Each of the people interviewed provides a richly detailed picture of the momentous events that took place and the human drama behind them.
