“The Fall of Reza Shah” - Part 12 of the Roqe Media series, The Contemporary History of Iran. How did Reza Shah Pahlavi, the dynamic leader known as the “father of modern Iran,” who ascended to become the popular king of Iran in 1925, experience a dramatic, expeditious and ignominious fall from the throne in 1941? And how did he spend his final years in exile? Acclaimed historian Dr. Shaul Bakhash, author of a new book on the life of Reza Shah, joins Jian Ghomeshi from George Mason University to discuss Reza Shah’s forced abdication at the hands of the British after the invasion of Iran in 1941, the passing of the crown to his son Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, his unhappy flight into exile, and his final days as a shadow of his once powerful presence. This is the second of two conversations with Dr. Bakhash that follows Part 11 of the Contemporary History of Iran, “The Rise of Reza Shah.”
