        See my review of product above.

        Books' condition was as described or better. Little known but extremely important history of U.S.'s egregious involvement in restoring the Shah to the throne after Iran elected its first democratic government. A real black eye for America's reputation. Makes a good case for Iran's 1979 revolution and the seizing of the U.S. embassy.

        Excellent book. It's a page turner. I am reading it it for the third time. I bought three extra copies to give to friends. It's an informative book about the politics of oil.

        Where we are today

        This, along with his previous book shows how two brothers in America shaped our problems of today. Great history.
