    Book discusses the historical events leading up to, during, and immediately following the 1953 coup d'etat against Mohammed Mossadegh. It goes in depth about the US involvement, particularly how the CIA arraigned and executed the coup. The justification of the usage of terror stems back to the Quran in most cases throughout the revolution.
