Patriot of Persia: Muhammad Mossadegh and a Tragic

Patriot of Persia: Muhammad Mossadegh and a Tragic Anglo-American Coup – The First Biography of a Misunderstood Icon and Middle East Hero

The Economistâ€™s Tehran correspondent Christopher de Bellaigue brings to light the never-before-told full story of one of the great anti-colonial heroes of the twentieth century: Muhammad Mossadegh, the great Iranian leader whose untimely demise resulted in the Islamic Revolution of 1979, and a man who has been demonized, ridiculed, and misunderstood in the West while remaining an icon and an inspiration across the Middle East. Patriot of Persia, the first biography exploring his life and impact, opens a crucial new window into Mossadeghâ€”whose role in the evolution of Iranâ€™s political climate cannot be overemphasizedâ€”providing a resource that will prove equally invaluable to academics, newshounds, and activists as they struggle to understand Mideast politics, Iran, Ahmadinejad, and the future of the regionâ€”and the world.
