Biographical/Historical Note
"Over the course of the last twenty five years, I have written three books on Muhammad Reza Shah's period--Persian Sphinx,
Eminent Persians (2 Vols) and the Shah. The documents have been collected in the course of this period as primary source material
for the research. I have traveled to these archives, read through their collections, and copied the most significant documents.
On rare occasions, I have copied them from the Electronic Reading Rooms."
-Abbas Milani
