It says that rather than being a mortal enemy of the British, Mohammad Mosaddegh always favored them, and his nationalisation campaign of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company was inspired by "the British themselves". Given the depths of the hatreds and fears, it is surprising that there has not been more violence. The Shah was never able to remove the reputation of being a "foreign imposed" ruler among non-royalist Iranians. It glosses over such sensitive issues as the crucial participation of the U.S. ambassador in the actual overthrow; the role of U.S. military advisers; the harnessing of local Nazis and Muslim terrorists; and the use of assassinations to destabilize the government.
