The Iranian Sultan's Great Grandson John Shafeei

The Shah of Iran's "White Revolution" and his celebration of "2500 years of the Persian Kingdom." I have participated in both events. This makes me one of the few living Iranians to have first-hand knowledge of these pivotal moments in Iranian history. Ranging from my years living in multiple cities including Tehran to my time in many small Iranian villages, this is my autobiography while living in Iran 1951-1978. The period covered in this book ends with my departure for graduate study in the United States, just two steps ahead of the Iranian Revolution.
