Focusing on the turbulent twenty-eight months between April 1951
and August 1953, this book, based on recently declassified CIA and
US State Department documents from the Mossadeq administration tell
the story of the Iranian oil crisis, which would culminate in the
coup of August 1953. Throwing fresh light on US involvement in
Iran, Ervand Abrahamian reveals exactly how immersed the US was in
internal Iranian politics long before the 1953 coup, in
parliamentary politics and even in saving the monarchy in 1952. By
weighing rival explanations for the coup, from internal discontent,
a fear of communism and oil nationalization, Abrahamian shows how
the Truman and Eisenhower administrations did not differ
significantly in their policies towards Mossadeq, and how the
surprising main obstacle to an earlier coup was the shah himself.
In tracing the key involvement of the US and CIA in Iran, this
study shows how the 1953 coup would eventually pave the way to the
1979 Iranian revolution, two of the most significant and widely
studied episodes of modern Iranian history.
