Tales of Two Cities

Educated in the United States, Abbas Milani is an Iranian expatriate who now finds respite here in California. He tells of life under the Shah and the Pahlavi regime, and also under the mullahs of the Islamic Republic, providing cultural, historical, and political insight into the world of his heritage. Milani's work is beautifully written in sophisticated and articulate English; Whitfield narrates the words and images in a cultured British accent. Milani's autobiography explains a great deal about life in Iran today and about why he and other Iranians have left their country. M.B.K. (c) AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine
