C Skrine (later Sir), a British Civil Servant of the Indian Office, was assigned to accompany Reza Shah into exile after his abdication in 1941.  Skrine spend two tours in Iran as the British Consul in Mashhad during the Second World War and then later as Consul General in Tehran. Below is the complete Chapter Six from his book -- World War in Iran-- about Reza Shah's internment by the British. In characteristically English style he understates the plans of his government.  The real aim of his mission was to intern the ex-Shah. The narrative starts with a summary of the occupation of Iran by the Allies and events leading up to Reza Shah's abdication, before describing his encounter with the "Napoleon of modern Iran" who became "a broken man, a prisoner of his memories." -- Amir Rostam Beglie-Beigie
