Ervand Abrahamian. A relevant, readable study of the foreign-engineered 1953 Iranian coup reminds us of the cause that won't go away: oil. Abrahamian clears away much of the nostalgic Cold War cobwebs surrounding the ouster of the popular Iranian reformer Muhammad Mossadeq, employing new oral history and pertinent memoirs published posthumously by Mossadeq's advisers. The well-rendered, lucid back story explaining the current, ongoing deep distrust and suspicion between the U.S. and Iran.--KirkusSaturday, March 23, 2013
