All The Shah's Men
Stephen Kinzer
Wiley
An important and timely book that gives an insight to Iran's struggle for democracy and the deep distrust of her people towards the Western Governments.
In 1953 Iran's democratically elected prime minister was ousted in a coup lead by the British secret Service and the CIA and replaced by the last Shah of Pahlavi. The effects of those events left in the Iranian Psyche the belief that the west, particulalrly USA has a stranglehold on Iran's politics and natural resources.
This is a great book in understanding why so many Iranians from different socio economic background rose in support of the revolution in 1978.' All the Shah's men' also provides a deeper understanding of why so many Iranians, despite their deep hatred towards their government, support Iran's nuclear ambitions.
