Summary

The book is an analysis of recently released CIA and State Department documents on Iran during the period of Mossadeq’s premiership beginning in April 1951 until his overthrow by the CIA in August 1953. These documents had been kept classified some thirty years beyond their scheduled date of release. They reveal that the United Kingdom and USA resorted to “fake news” and “electoral collusion” to undermine Mossadeq. They also reveal the existence of a “deep state” within the Truman administration advocating Mossadeq’s removal as early as May 1951.
