Mohammad Reza Pahlavi: Politics of Oil

Blends archival footage, still pictures, and commentary by New York Times correspondent Drew Middleton to recount the rise and fall of the Shah of Iran. Tells how he succeeded his father, Reza Shah, in 1941; survived a number of attempts on his life; and was kept in power by the CIA's first and most successful coup in 1953 until the return of the Ayatollah Khomeini saw the Shah's departure for exile and the proclamation of an Islamic republic.
