Enough time has passed since it was written that a new generation can discover it for themselves. For those who decide to re-read it (as was the case with me), <em>Shah of Shahs</em> will unexpectedly reveal its second layer. The references to the world of Islam — variously received and thrust into the centre of media attention after the tragic year of 2001 — may surprise readers with their continued relevance.</p>
