The author examines the role of the CIA and MI6 in the coup, and how they used propaganda and covert operations to undermine Mossadegh's government.Through extensive research and interviews with key players in the events, Efimenco paints a vivid picture of the political climate in Iran during this period. The book also explores the impact of the coup on Iran's political and social landscape, including the rise of Islamic fundamentalism and the Iranian Revolution of 1979.Overall, ""An Experiment With Civilization Dictatorship In Iran: The Case Of Mohammed Mossadegh"" is a compelling read that sheds light on a pivotal moment in Iranian history and the complex forces that shaped it.
