spy novels in which George Smiley goes around talking to people to tease out who did what and when. We follow the likable Amirani over nearly a decade as he roots around for information, a quest that carries him from national security archives in D.C. and dusty basements in Paris, to glitzy apartments inhabited by moral monsters.

Mosaddegh was an erudite and charismatic Persian adored by the masses, and when he came to power, he nationalized the oil industry, expropriating the British oil company's assets. The outraged British decided to take Mosaddegh down. Though America was at first reluctant — Harry Truman got along with Mosaddegh — Dwight Eisenhower's team of Cold Warriors wrongly saw this nationalist conservative as a potential tool of Moscow. He had to go.

hateusbecausaeyouaintus They LET the British extract the oil. In 1933, Iranian negotiators got outmaneuvered & signed a bad deal. Say what you will about the UK/USA but at least contract law supported their actions. Mosadegh was wrong to nationalize oil and let in the CIA.
