Title: Fast-paced and engaging, but occasionally shallow view
Review: I found this an engaging and entertaining read, although at times it really felt (1) like Kinzer was glossing over what I thought were events important enough to warrant more details (like the legislative maneuvering between the Shah and Mossadegh, etc.) and (2) that Kinzer was writing a hagiography of Mossadegh, and a rather undetailed one at that. The period when Mossadegh was in retreat was barely mentioned other than in passing via a quote, describing his behavior as mostly "carping" - I think more of what shaped his views during this period would have helped give a more rounded view of the man.But the book is a good read, and it's an important series of events for Americans to understand, and on the whole, I thought this an excellent account.
