Description

The Coup 1953, the CIA, and the Roots of Modern U.S.-Iranian Relations by Ervand Abrahamian In August 1953, a pivotal event shook the foundations of Iran's government, with the CIA orchestrating the overthrow of the democratically elected leader and installing a new ruler. This pivotal moment had far-reaching consequences, shaping the course of U.S.-Iran relations for decades to come. Abrahamian, a noted Iran scholar, sheds new light on this history-shattering event, uncovering previously unknown documents that challenge conventional interpretations of the coup. His account offers a compelling and well-documented exploration of the events leading up to and following the coup, transforming America's understanding of this critical turning point in modern U.S.-Iran relations.
