An absorbing account of the CIAs 1953 coup in Iranessential reading for anyone concerned about Irans role in the world today (Harpers Magazine).In August 1953, the Central Intelligence Agency orchestrated the swift overthrow of Irans democratically elected leader and installed Muhammad Reza Shah Pahlavi in his place. When the 1979 Iranian Revolution deposed the shah and replaced his puppet government with a radical Islamic republic under Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the shift reverberated throughout the Middle East and the world, casting a long, dark shadow over United StatesIran relations that extends to the present day.In this authoritative new history of the coup and its aftermath, noted Iran scholar Ervand Abrahamian uncovers littleknown documents that challenge conventional interpretations and sheds new light on how the American role in the coup influenced diplomatic relations between the two countries, past and present. Drawing from the hitherto closed archives of British Petroleum, the Foreign Office, and the US State Department, as well as from Iranian memoirs and published interviews, Abrahamians riveting account of this key historical event will change Americas understanding of a crucial turning point in modern United StatesIranian relations.A Choice Outstanding Academic TitleNot only is this book important because of its presentation of history.
