I initially picked up this book to sort myself out on Iranian history. This is one of the better books, but I still managed to get a little mixed up when it came to the cast of characters. That's probably not the books' fault.

In the last chapter, he puts everything together in a nice summary, relates it to events that happen later (like 9/11, NY), and speculates on what would've happened if the CIA didn't orchestrate the coup. He also ate dinner and spoke with Mossadegh's grandson, which must've been fascinating.
