5.0 out of 5 stars Views of a non-Monarchist, June 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Gozashteh va Ayandeh (Farsi Language Edition) (Paperback)

If I had any doubts or reservations about the integrity and patriotism of Reza Pahlavi, this book has indeed alleviated them all. It is a breath of fresh air to see an Iranian who does not subscribe to the platitude of the conspiracy theories and has the "liberty of Iran", rather than "the crown of Iran", as his priority. I Have been away from Iran for nearly three decades; while reading his memoirs in page 61, I vividly felt his agony of exile through the inevitable tears in my own eyes. Reza, if you are reading this, you are not alone in your love and admiration for a nation which deserves only the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars A modern leader in a modern world, June 23, 2000

This review is from: Gozashteh va Ayandeh (Farsi Language Edition) (Paperback)

I received this book from a friend, and I was not very enthusiastic to read it. But I must thank my friend for this present; when I finished this book, I was full of hope for my future and the future of my country, Iran. Thanks to this book, I think I know Mr. Pahlavi much better than before and he indeed is a very enlightened person. In this troubled world, especially in the Middle East, we need more leaders of his caliber. I think he would be a wonderful modern-king in this thousands-years country, enriching our ancient and proud traditions and culture with the realities of today.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good book with some realistic ideas, August 16, 2001

This review is from: Gozashteh va Ayandeh (Farsi Language Edition) (Paperback)

I was amazed at how much someone like Reza Pahlavi (who has been away from his country for some twenty two years) has managed to stay in tune with popular Iranian sentiments.

I was never a fan of monarchy(absolute or constitutional) but reading through this book and looking at the other available options, I'd say he represents Iran's best bet for a stable, secure and prosperous future.

p.s. despite very harsh penalties, you will be amazed at how many copies of this book are being read and passed around inside Iran. People like this guy!
