Persian Realm

Initially titled The Peacock Prince, Abbas Milani introduces his latest book, a political biography of Iran's last Shah in a Speach in Israel. Milani's Shakespearean Quotes didn't Seem to Overshadow his Republican ( aka Jomhurykhah) Stance and preference which however respectable in it's own right may not go down well with those who favor a Constitutionalist Outlook of Iran's history and century year old struggle for Parliamentary Democracy.
