Omtale

This book meticulously reconstructs the 1953 Iranian coup d'état that led to the overthrow of Mohammed Mosaddeq and his government. Mosaddeq's removal from power has attracted more attention than any other event during his tenure because of the foreign involvement, the political, economic and social impact on Iran, and the long-term impact the ousting had on Iran-US relations.
