Journal Article
The rise and continuing challenge of revolutionary Iran
2014
Overview
[...]they were much more focused on the Shah's megalomania and the arbitrary but sometimes very ugly repression by the Savak security service.1 In explaining the Shah's failure to relate to the Iranian public, Buchan also notes that the Shah's psyche had been scared by several nearly successful assassination attempts, which encouraged him to withdraw into a security cocoon. Some units eventually chose to abandon their bases to the revolutionaries rather than defend them with nothing more than empty bluff. [...]as the revolution progressed the army increasingly faced the danger of disintegration, and the government viewed conscript troops as prone to desertion and changing sides.
