I've been putting this off for so long because it takes me ages to get through academic books even when I like them, but to my surprise, this isn't academic at all—we're talking an eighth-grade reading level. Which is good for accessibility, but TBH I was hoping for more background: for example, explain how the government functions, that the Shah can just revoke the PM's status.

This has been on my to-read for years, and of course if I don’t get around to it now, I’m being irresponsible. The preface is from 2008, but I’d have believed you if you told me it was written last week.
