A Window into Modern Iran: The Ardeshir Zahedi Papers at the Hoover Institution Library & Archives-A Selection

by Abbas Milani (Editor)

Overview

The inner workings of Iranian politics, as experienced by two key figures at their center, are revealed through the meticulously preserved documents and photographs in the Ardeshir Zahedi Papers at the Hoover Institution Library and Archives. These materials are essential for understanding modern Iranian history and its global context. These archives were preserved over the course of two illustrious careers: those of Ardeshir Zahedi, Iran’s ambassador to the United States and United Kingdom, and minister of foreign affairs; and his father, Fazlollah Zahedi, military general and prime minister of Iran after the 1953 overthrow of Mohammad Mossadegh. Published for the very first time, the papers and photos included here are indispensable primary sources for scholarship on modern Iranian history.
