Title: Good synopsis of the 20th century
Review: Kinzer's work reads well and presents good scholarship on the historical background behind the current Iranian regime. It puts in light the actions of the great powers in nations after World War One and exposes the "meddling" of nation / companies and their arrogance in dealing with citizens of a nation. While you will not find the "roots" of middle eastern terrorism in this book, you will discover the origins of our present animosity with Iran.The political bravery of Mohammed Mosedegh is particularly moving as are the various machiniations of the political parties within Iran. The present dominance fo the mullahs may not be long for this world if (as of Spring 2007) their economy continues to sputter. Pick up this book as a great adjunct to Persian history.
