This review is from: Empire and Nationhood (Paperback)
The author"Mary Ann Heiss" has used her knowledge of ten years of extensive research to explain the political and economical situation of iran during the 1950-1954. I strongly recommend this book to all iranians who wish to know the truth about their homeland and those who love and admire Mr. Mossaddegh.
