My family along with 30,000 Americans lived in Tehran prior to the Islamic uprising the end of 1978. We heard bits of information about Mossadegh from our Iranian acquaintances but nothing in depth about the loss of his leadership in favor of the Shah. This volume supplies that missing information in a highly engaging narrative. I now understand the undercurrent of love for his leadership that I sensed at the time.
