This book, written in a style that blends academic and narrative, and rich in period images, tells the story of Operation Ajax, which led to the overthrow of Mohammed Mossadegh's government in Iran in 1953.
Mossadegh was guilty of nationalizing Iran's oil reserves, which had been British-owned until 1951, and for this reason the CIA and MI6 formed a team to overthrow him. The idea was to create the conditions for a coup or revolution through unconventional tools never used on a large scale before, such as sanctions, embargoes, and psychological warfare. It worked.
