Editorial Reviews

The Spectator (London) 26 August 2000
Milani's biography of Hoveyda is a compelling read....not only highly readable, but balanced, well researched and exceedingly competent.

Middle East Journal, James A Brill, Winter 2001
In this beautifully written biography of Hoveyda, Abbas Milani provides us with a superb analysis of Iran and its poorly understood revolution.
