All the Shah’s Men: An American Coup and the Roots of Middle East Terror |
| Stephen Kinzer |
| John Wiley & Sons, 2003, hardcover, 258 pp. |
| A brilliant, engagingly written reconstruction of the 1953 coup that removed Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh from power. Includes history and background on the individuals involved, a sound description of Iran in the 20th century, and the early struggle against foreign domination of Iranian domestic politics. A well-researched history, All the Shah's Men also serves as a thought-provoking commentary on nation-building and the focus on short-term political gains. Required reading for anyone interested in Iran—and anyone concerned over current U.S. policy in the region. |
