Oil Crisis in Iran

Focusing on the turbulent twenty-eight months between April 1951 and August 1953, this book, based on recently declassified CIA and US State Department documents from the Mossadeq administration, tells the story of the Iranian oil crisis, which would culminate in the coup of August 1953. Throwing fresh light on US involvement in Iran, Ervand Abrahamian reveals exactly how immersed the USA was in internal Iranian politics long before the 1953 coup, in parliamentary politics, and even in saving the monarchy in 1952. By weighing rival explanations for the coup, from internal discontent, a fear of communism, and oil nationalization, Abrahamian shows how the Truman and Eisenhower administrations did not differ significantly in their policies towards Mossadeq, and how the surprising main obstacle to an earlier coup was the shah himself. In tracing the key involvement of the USA and the CIA in Iran, this study shows how the 1953 coup would eventually pave the way to the 1979 Iranian revolution, two of the most significant and widely studied episodes of modern Iranian history.

Ervand Abrahamian was Distinguished Professor of History at Baruch College and Graduate Center, City University of New York. He is the author of several books including Iran Between Two Revolutions (1982) and A History of Modern Iran (2018). He was elected in 2010 to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Contents
Preface

People will say, or even write, the most fantastic nonsense about their own thoughts and intentions, to say nothing of deliberate lies.

Lewis Namier on Diplomatic Documents

This new FRUS volume contains 375 documents totaling some 1,000 pages. It includes extensive cables, reports, notes, minutes, and memoranda not only from the State Department and the US Embassy, but also from the US Cabinet, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the National Security Council (NSC) especially its annual and periodic National Intelligence Estimates (NIEs). Not surprisingly, the volume provides a wealth of information on the politics of this period especially on the US involvement in Iran.

Transliteration requires some explanation since few agree on a standard system. The name Mossadeq is a case in point. The State Department tended to spell his name sometimes as Mossadeq, sometimes as Mossadegh, sometimes as Musaddiq, and sometimes as Mosadeq. The British Foreign Office preferred Musaddiq; the New York Times Mossadegh; Time Mosadeq; and the London Times Moussadek. They were not always consistent. Throughout the book I have modified the systems developed by the Library of Congress and the International Journal of Middle East Studies. I have dispensed with diacritical marks; substituted o and e for equivalent sounds in English; used the backwards apostrophe () for the letter eyn , and e rather than i for ezafeh ; and, most important, adopted spelling that has become standardized through the mainstream media Tehran, rather than Teheran, Mashed rather than Mashhad, Isfahan rather than Esfehan, Hussein rather than Husayn; and Khomeini rather Khomeyni. Hopefully, readers will read this preface before nit picking.

I would like to thank Alice Stoakley for editing the manuscript, as well as Maria Marsh, Daniel Brown, Natasha Whelan, Atifa Jiwa, and Raghavi Govindane for guiding it through the production process at Cambridge University Press.
