Operation Ajax: The Story of the CIA Coup that Remade the Middle East

Graphic true-life spy thriller about the CIA mission that overthrew Iranâ€™s democracy

The year is 1953. As the value of oil skyrockets, global power brokers begin to take interest in the political regimes of the Middle East. British agents have controlled Iranian oil exports for a generation, but the Shahâ€™s hold on peace is shaky as a charismatic leader enters the scene.

Mohammed Mossadeghâ€™s calls to overthrow the elites resonates among the people, and as rumors circulate of an impending revolt, American, British and Persian agents hatch plans of overthrow. Deals are made behind closed doors. Every actor has a stake. Iranâ€™s oil will flow, by any means necessary.

Operation Ajax is the story of the CIA coup that removed the democratically elected Mossadegh and reinstated the monarchy. Introduced by New York Timesâ€“bestselling author of All the Shahâ€™s Men, Stephen Kinzer, Operation Ajax is a thrilling tale of real-life intrigue.
