I would like to see the religious leaders and status quo supporting Iranian politicians strung up from that fucking crane they use for executions. Scum

Can anyone point me to some good reading material about the Shah and pre-revolution Iran in the 20th Century?
I have a Persian friend who is totally anti-regime but to the point where she basically glorifies everything about the Shah which IMO is a bit OTT, and every other post on social media is some sort of hero worship of him and his family.
