An indispensable source for understanding state ideology and domestic and foreign policy in the late Pahlavi period, as well as the shah’s personal philosophy and political thought, this new edition of Towards the Great Civilization is based on the original unpublished English-language translation commissioned by the Pahlavi Library, edited by Robert Steele, with an introduction by Professor Ali Ansari.

In October 1971 Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, Shah of Iran, held a celebration to commemorate the 2500th anniversary of the founding of the Persian Empire by Cyrus the Great. Dozens of heads of state descended on Persepolis for these Celebrations, where they were regaled to sumptuous banquets and entertainment. Critical journalists in Western Europe and North America lambasted the Shah for holding such a decadent event while many of his people lived in poverty. Due to the overwhelmingly negative press at the time, the event is still today widely remembered as a catastrophic failure.It is even said by many to have sparked the unrest that eventually led to the revolution and the Shah’s downfall in 1979.In this first comprehensive academic study of the 2500th Anniversary Celebrations, Robert Steele looks beyond the pomp and splendour to examine the events’ origins, the goals the organisers set out to achieve with them and the extent to which these goals were accomplished. The book seeks to place the Celebrations in the context of the Shah’s rise, rather than his fall, uncovering the unparalleled international cultural and scholarly operation that was spurred by the Iranian regime for the occasion, exploring the effects the event had on Iran’s tourism industry and questioning narratives of the event’s cost.

George Michaels unerwarteter Tod an Weihnachten 2016 hat die Karriere einer der beliebtesten britischen Pop-Ikonen abrupt und viel zu früh beendet. Er war über 30 Jahren lang einer der größten Stars der Popkultur. Seit seiner Zeit bei Wham! Anfang der 80er Jahre, als sich zwei Jungs aus Nordlondon daran machten die Musikwelt zu erobern, war sowohl seine Karriere als auch sein persönliches Leben eine Achterbahnfahrt voller Glück und Erfolg, aber auch voller Fehlschläge und Katastrophen.Der ehemals blonde Teeniestar, der in albernen Outfits zu teilweise noch alberneren Songs über die Bühnen der Welt hüpfte, um Playback zu singen, hat sich zu einem reifen Solokünstler entwickelt, der überall auf dem Globus gefeiert wird. Dieses Buch erzählt seine ganze Geschichte, und berichtet dabei von den Anfängen, seiner Kindheit als Arbeiterjunge in London, von den ersten Erfolgen mit Wham! und der Entwicklung als Solokünstler, aber auch über die Schattenseiten des Erfolges: Die anhaltenden Skandale um Drogen und seine Sexualität, die der Künstler jahrzehntelang versteckte, den erbitterten Rechtsstreit mit seiner Plattenfirma und auch die persönlichen Tragödien, wie die AIDS-Erkrankung und den Verlust seines Geliebten oder den Krebstod seiner Mutter.Diese Biographie zeigt dabei einen hochbegabten aber zerbrechlichen Künstler, der mit seinem Ruhm und den damit verbundenen Erwartungen, die vor allem seine eigenen Erwartungen waren, nicht zurechtkam, der sich in Schmerzmittel und Drogen flüchtete und seine Probleme solange ignorierte, bis er mit seinem Auto das Schaufenster eines Geschäftes durchschlug und dafür im Gefängnis landete. Diese Biografie zeigt dabei aber auch einen unermüdlich kämpfenden Mann, der Rückschläge wie kaum ein anderer wegstecken und in Songs verarbeiten konnte und kann; der immer dann, wenn seine Karriere am Ende schien, stärker zurückkam und Lieder schrieb, die uns bis heute bewegen.

This book presents the first comprehensive study of Iran's complex relationship with Africa during the late Pahlavi era. While many studies of Iran's foreign relations during the Cold War present Iranian policy as fully aligned with the United States, Robert Steele reveals Iran as an independent actor capable of forging its own path, and shows that Africa was central to Iran's economic policy and security strategy during the reign of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Africa was where the shah sought allies to balance the radicalism of Nasser, often through Iranian aid, customers for Iranian oil and potential sources of uranium. Bolstered by the British withdrawal from the Persian Gulf in 1971 and the oil price hike of 1973, Steele also shows how the shah saw an opportunity for his Iran to play a leading role in the Indian Ocean, revealing the central place of Africa in Iran's global strategy.
