Written by a noted New York Times journalist, this book is based on documents about the coup (including some lengthy internal CIA reports) that have now been declassified. Stephen Kinzer's compelling narrative is at once a vital piece of history, a cautionary tale, and a real-life espionage thriller. 729157 1991 All the Shah's Men: An American Coup and the Roots of Middle East Terror total:668|5:248|4:281|3:127|2:10|1:2| 668 2767 1019 160 4 6 false false Fri Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Thu Jun 28 19:58:04 -0700 2007 Fri Aug 17 11:41:18 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 2 false false Tue Jul 29 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 29 07:21:14 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 29 07:32:48 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 2 false false Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 28 09:21:46 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 28 09:32:05 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Sun Mar 15 16:54:51 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 15 17:18:19 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Sun Jan 11 21:04:13 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 11 21:06:39 -0800 2009
