Revisado: 10-27-14

What made the experience of listening to What Really Happened in Iran (Foreign Affairs) the most enjoyable?

Yes. Many times, many medias tried to call Mohammad Mosadegh the democratically elected government. Mossadegh was appointed by Shah and approval of the parliament like all other prime ministers. Is mossadegh was elected democratically, so all before and after Mosadegh was elected democratically. But the name of the game to call Shah who made a coupe against Mossadegh is to reduce Shah's legitimacy of his regime, and give legitimacy to Iran's revolution of 1979. The regime and their allies have shown that Shah took the power against the constitution and toppled Mohammad Mossadegh with aid of foreign powers against the will of Iranians, which was a big lie.
This book has neutral moment to what happened in 1954.

What other book might you compare What Really Happened in Iran (Foreign Affairs) to and why?

I always believed that the fairy tail of coup against Mosadegh was a cover for USA and UK to hid to what they really did in 1979 results in 1 million Iranian casualties and destroying all Iran infrastructure and Iranian civil laws. They support Khomeini come to power in 1979. and also the regime of Iran enjoyed the fairy tail to show Shah governments were not legitimate due to a coup.

Which scene was your favorite?

The part that admits overthrowing Mosadegh was made by people who liked Shah and CIA has insignificant role on it.

Any additional comments?

As it is indicated in this book, Islamic regime in Iran enjoy a lot with the fairy tail of coup against Mossadegh. They show Shah regime not legitimate by accusing him who perform coup with aid of foreign agencies, and took power like a thief; therefore, he must be overthrown which would legitimize the Islamic revolution in 1979. Revolutionary claims that initial pure goals of the revolution was deviated, therefore, people must wait and perform reform. the reform which has been always a make-up for the Regime.

Bias history telling. Full of contradictions

Revisado: 02-15-13

Would you try another book from Stephen Kinzer and/or Michael Prichard?

For sure I do. Because his books reflect current USA policy towards other counties. For example, regarding my country Iran, They are trying to hid what USA did in 1979 by overthrowing the Shah for the oil behind Mosadegh. Kinzer is trying to show Mosadegh as a national hero to cover the mess they did in 1979 in the middle east. This book is a shame. We, young Iranian, won't let those guys like Kinzer change our country's history.

What was most disappointing about Stephen Kinzer’s story?

He demonize Shah and make Mosadegh as a hero. It's been USA policy for a long time to make Mosadegh as a hero to hid the reality of what they had done during 1977 to 1979 in Iran.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Anger and disappintment

Any additional comments?

As I said we will speak up against any untrue narration about our country's history. We will tell all the world what is the reality about the Shah of Iran who was overthrown by USA and the conspiracy USA ans UK had done about it.
