5.0 out of 5 stars The CIA Report on What We Did in Iran, June 5, 2006

By	John Matlock "Gunny" (Winnemucca, NV) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In 1952/53 the CIA instigated an overthrow of the Government of Iran. It was successful, from the standpoint of the CIA anyway, established closer relations between Iran and the US. And of course led to the subsequent events in Iranian history.

The American agent in charge of the operation was the author. Dr. Wilber, who died in 1997, was sent to a meeting in Nicosia with the British and in consultation with them a plan was developed. Subsequent to that plans success Dr. Wilber wrote this report in 1954 to record the successful change of Government in Iran. This report, originally classified SECRET is part of the Clandestine Service History series of the CIA.

Upon reading the report, it is fairly easy to see why Iran does not consider the US to be among its friends. In listening to remarks from our Government, to see what gets printed in the newspaper and broadcast in the national news is to get a fairly superficial view of the situation in Iran. Understanding the background information contained here gives you quite a different perspective than you get from the news.
