"Shah of Shahs" depicts the final years of the Shah in Iran, and is a compelling meditation on the nature of revolution and the devastating results of fear. Here, Kapuscinski describes the tyrannical monarch, who, despite his cruel oppression of the Iranian people, sees himself as the father of a nation, who can turn a backward country into a great power - a vain hope that proves a complete failure. Yet, even as Iran becomes a behemoth of riches' and as the Shah lives like a European billionaire, its people live in a climate of fear, terrorized by the secret police. Told with intense power and feeling, Kapuscinski portrays the inevitable build-up to revolution - a cataclysmic upheaval that delivered Iran into the rule of the Ayatollah Khomeini.

Absolutely genius! A clear and poetic description of modern Iranian history.
评分卡普钦斯基首先是一个诗人，其次才是记者和更广义的作家。这本书和他其它类似著作一样，寓言性质强过纪实

评分用记者笔记体记述了巴列维王朝兴衰史。独特的文体之上，是作者对一段人性悲剧史的洞察，是对反复重演的人间惨剧的哀叹。绝对的独裁以人性的沦丧为代价，取而代之的狂热宗教又何尝不是如此？其实，独裁也好，宗教也罢，结果都是人民的选择，而非某个独裁者或者宗教狂所能强加。一个国家一个民族数千年陷于如是循环中不能自拔，必有其自身的原因。悬念是，这种循环怎样才能打破呢？
