Shah of Shahs by Ryszard Kapuściński is considered a controversial book – the opinions about it expressed by Iranian experts are definitely divergent. The author attempts to compare the selected facts from the history of Iran, which are described in the reportage, to the information gathered in other publications (including academic sources) on the topic. The analysis of the passages of the book, which were compared with relevant historical information, identified various types of factual inaccuracies – ranging from obvious factual errors to discrepancies implemented by the reporter deliberately. The greatest value of Kapuściński’s reportage is therefore not the objectivity of the message but its universality.

The article attempts to describe the islamic revolution described by Ryszard Kapuściński in Shah of shahs. The reporter confronts the images of revolutionary chaos in Iran with Iranian culture and its distant history to show the similarities in human mentality. In order to make the reader aware of what the clash with strangeness is, Kapuściński uses concealment, omits important historical facts or even manipulates. The author of the article seeks to expose and interpret the meaning of this strategy.
