520 "In October 1999 during a trip to Cairo, Cyrus Kadivar, an
exiled Iranian living in London, visited the tomb of the
last shah and opened a Pandora's Box. Haunted by nostalgia
for a bygone era, he recalled a protected and idyllic
childhood in the fabled city of Shiraz and his coming of
age during the 1979 Iranian revolution. Back in London, he
reflected on what had happened to him and his family after
their uprooting and decided to conduct his own
investigation into why he lost his country. He spent the
next ten years seeking out witnesses who would shed light
on the last days of Pahlavi rule. Among those he met were
a former empress, ex-courtiers, disaffected
revolutionaries, and the bereaved relatives of those who
perished in the cataclysm. In Farewell Shiraz, Kadivar
tells the story of his family and childhood against the
tumultuous backdrop of twentieth-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. Combining
exquisite vignettes with rare testimonials and first-hand
interviews, Farewell Shiraz draws us into a sweeping yet
often intimate account of a vanished world and offers a
compelling investigation into a political earthquake whose
reverberations still live with us today"--Amazon.com.
