The CIA’s 1953 overthrow against Iranian leader Mohammad
Mossadegh ushered in the long and brutal dictatorship of
Mohammah Reza Shah. In All the Shah’s Men: An American
Coup and the Roots of Middle East Terror, Stephen
Kinzer explains why the coup was ultimately a disaster for
U.S. interests in the Middle East.
