Answer to History
Answer to History (French: Réponse à l'histoire; Persian, پاسُخ بِه تاریخ (''Pāsokh be Tārikh'')) is a memoir written by the Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, shortly after his overthrow in 1979 by Islamic revolutionaries. The book was originally written in French and was translated into English and Persian, as well as other languages, and was published posthumously in 1980.
==Themes==
The book is Mohammad Reza Pahlavi's personal account of his reign and accomplishments, as well as his perspective on issues related to the Iranian Revolution and Western foreign policy toward Iran. He places some of the blame for the wrongdoings of the SAVAK as well as the failures of various democratic and social reforms (particularly through the White Revolution) upon Amir Abbas Hoveyda and his administration.
In the book, the Shah wrote:
"The lesson of the wickedness and immorality of international power-politics was burnt 'yes, very literally burnt' into my mind and heart. The main lesson I learnt was that when you are weak you have got to be very patient. You have got to accept humiliation. You have got to take the worst kind of insults. But in your inner heart you have got to love your country, have faith in its people and believe in their destiny as well as yours. If you do so, there is always a little ray of hope left which kindles in your conscience and inspires you to make the best of the worst possible circumstances and save whatever little you can of your land and its inheritance. That is the key to human survival amidst overwhelming difficulties."〔()〕
