Ali Rahnema's work is a meticulous historical reconstruction of the
Iranian coup d'etat in 1953 that led to the overthrow of Mohammed
Mosaddeq and his government. Mosaddeq's removal from power has
probably attracted more attention than any other event occurring
during his tenure because of the role of foreign involvement, the
political, economic and social impact on Iran, and the long-term
impact the ousting had on Iran-US relations. Drawing on American,
British and Iranian sources, Rahnema closely examines the four-day
period between the first failed coup and the second successful
attempt, investigating in fine detail how the two coups were
conceptualised, rationalised and executed by players on both the
Anglo-American and Iranian sides. Through painstaking research into
little-studied sources, Rahnema casts new light on how a small
group of highly influential pro-Britain politicians and power
brokers revisited the realities on the ground with the CIA
operatives dispatched to Iran and how they recalibrated a new, and
ultimately successful, operational plan.
