Andrew Scott Cooper's 'The Fall of Heaven' offers a definitive account of the last years of Iran's Pahlavi dynasty. Drawing upon declassified documents and exclusive interviews, Cooper meticulously reconstructs the political turmoil, social unrest, and complex U.S.-Iran relations that led to the 1979 revolution. This historical narrative provides a fresh, intimate look at Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the internal family conflicts, and the series of events that marked the dramatic collapse of a 2,500-year-old imperial throne.
