Description: "In the early 1950s, frail septuagenarian prime minister of Iran, Doctor Mohammad Mosaddeq, shook the world by challenging Britain by nationalizing Iran's British-run oil industries. In August of 1953, he was overthrown. Revisiting these events with astonishing new evidence, this book challenges the conventionally-held theory of foul play by the CIA"--Provided by publisher.
