I wish I knew more about the Seven Sisters oil consortium before I started reading this book. I think my interest is taking in more about them than the Iranian factionalism in the book. Might need a re-read after I do more.

The controlled "White Revolution" seems to have botched land reform, always a sign of future trouble. There was an interesting part about how the US has no theory of political change and policy is ad hoc and would like to read more about that. Overall, it's an excellent read that opens up the vagaries of Pahlavi era in Iran and of the Seven Sisters oil consortium.

The AIOC not wanting to change an old favorable deal was a major impediment to an already fractured seven year development plan in the late forties.

It seems like the great oil deals of 1946 should be better known watersheds.
