The Persian Sphinx

This biography of the Iranian intellectual and celebrity who served as prime minister under the Shah tells of his colorful life and his ultimate demise--and much of modern Iran under the Shah. Hoveyda, a proponent of modernism, did not flee the country when Khomeini took power; he was detained, put on trial, and shot to death. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
