註釋

Having previously visited a similar topic in his earlier Great Britain and Reza Shah: The Plunder of Iran 1921-1941 (University Press of Florida, 2001), Majd tells the story of, in his words, "a classic case of a powerful country extracting concessions from a weak, foreign-installed puppet regime that had no domestic support." Constructing his story from U.S. State Department documents, he examines how, at a time when the Persian government under Reza Shah was completely dependent on U.S. and British support, the American diplomatic corps pressured the country into accepting an unfair "Antiquities Law," which it then used to fight for the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago in raiding one-fifth of the recently discovered ruins of Persepolis.
