Some months earlier, rioting had broken out amongst the Shah's subjects, fermented by supporters of the exiled Ayatollah Khomeini. The Shah was in fact never to return to Iran; for the rest of his life he was ignominiously shunted from country to country in search of a permanent refuge. The author, a contemporary journalist, traces the story of the Shah's last years in exile - expelled by the King of Morocco, refused entry to the USA by President Carter, forced to live in a beach hut in the Bahamas - placing these events in contrast to the Shah's former opulent and decadent lifestyle in Iran. *** Quantity Available: 1.
