Story
In a cloak-and-dagger story of spies, saboteurs, and secret agents, Kinzer reveals the involvement of Eisenhower, Churchill, Kermit Roosevelt, and the CIA in Operation Ajax, which restored Mohammad Reza Shah to power. Reza imposed a tyranny that ultimately sparked the Islamic Revolution of 1979 which, in turn, inspired fundamentalists throughout the Muslim world, including the Taliban and terrorists who thrived under its protection.

This book was so informative, it brings to light so many points in history that we've all heard of. We should all pray that God may have mercy on Our Souls. The crimes that have been committed are unpardonable!

life changing and a powerful truth!

Powerful truth! It can be life-changing when applied. Or you can just live your life by default and ignore the power of taking your own life in your hands and creating it the way you want it to be.
