This book provides a comprehensive history of the Iranian oil crisis of 1951 54, examining the complex interplay of international politics, economic interests and internal Iranian power struggles. The authors draw upon newly declassified documents, archival research and interviews with key figures to unravel the events that led to the nationalisation of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company and the subsequent CIA-backed coup that overthrew Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddeq. The book also explores the Cold War context and the role of the United States and Britain in shaping the crisis, ultimately arguing that the historical narrative surrounding the situation is more nuanced and complex than previously acknowledged.
