All the Shahs Men

by Stephen Kinzer

2008

This gripping historical account unravels the intricate 1953 CIA operation that overthrew Iran's democratically elected leader, installing the Shah and setting the stage for decades of turmoil. Kinzer masterfully details the clandestine maneuvers and their far-reaching, unintended consequences, including the rise of anti-American sentiment and fundamentalism. Readers interested in the roots of modern Middle East conflict and the dangers of foreign intervention will find this a vital and compelling read.
