The CIA in Iran: The 1953 Coup and the Origins of the US-Iran Trade

Many people criticize authors for their sources...for this book, the source could not be better: the CIA case officer who conducted the operation is the author! Yes, we all know the CIA makes a living from lying but the author uses declassified material to show why Iran continues to have chilly relations with the U.S. Imagine if Iran had overthrown our govt., installed a puppet dictator, and created and trained a secret police force to keep him in power?! I think we all know the answer... This is exactly what the CIA did in Iran in concert with big oil companies in 1953.
