Description
I thank the staff of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) in College Park, Maryland, for their help and courtesy during the many days I spent there in 1999 and 2000. Dr. Milton Gustafson, senior specialist at NARA, helped in navigating the records of the Department of State pertaining to Iran. I am deeply grateful to Professor Hafez Farmayan for his comments on the earlier version of the manuscript, his excitement at the discovery of the records, his keen interest in the project, and his helpful suggestions. I also thank Chris Hofgren and Amy Gorelick, acquisitions editors at the University Press of Florida, for their interest in the book and for their professional and helpful approach. The task of assembling the photos again fell to my brother Mohammad Hossein Majd, and I thank him greatly. I am grateful to the Bureau of Cultural Heritage for permission to photograph and reproduce a portrait of Reza Shah on a tapestry located in Niavaran Palace. I thank the Institute for Iranian Contemporary Historical Studies in Tehran for providing several of the photographs reproduced in this book. Finally, I am vastly indebted to my family for help and understanding that made the completion of this book possible. The computer skills of my son, Ali, as usual rescued me at the appropriate time.
