Petherick The CIA in Iran The 1953 Coup and the Origins of the US Iran Divide 2006.pdf

Many people criticize authors for their sources...for this book, the source could not be better: the CIA case officer who conducted the operation is the author! Yes, we all know the CIA makes a living from lying but the author uses declassified material to show why Iran continues to have chilly relations with the U.S. Imagine if Iran had overthrown our govt., installed a puppet dictator, and created and trained a secret police force to keep him in power?! I think we all know the answer... This is exactly what the CIA did in Iran in concert with big oil companies in 1953.
