More books should have such a pedigree. . . . Seven polished
studies that speak to each other. . . . The book [provides] a
richly and tightly reasoned setting out of what might be dubbed the
emerging scholarly synthesis: the British started it, but the
United States took it over; Cold War concerns about 'losing' Iran
were a greater factor than was oil nationalization.-- "Foreign
Affairs"
The articles are meticulously researched and thick with detail.
Moreover, many of them . . . use interviews to supplement the
available written sources.-- "Middle East Journal"
