The Struggle for Iran
2023,2022
Overview
Beginning with the nationalization of the Iranian oil industry in
spring 1951 and ending with its reversal following the overthrow of
Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddeq in August 1953, the Iranian oil
crisis was a crucial turning point in the global Cold War. The
nationalization challenged Great Britain's preeminence in the
Middle East and threatened Western oil concessions everywhere.
Fearing the loss of Iran and possibly the entire Middle East and
its oil to communist control, the United States and Great Britain
played a key role in the ouster of Mosaddeq, a constitutional
nationalist opposed to communism and Western imperialism. U.S.
intervention helped entrench monarchical power, and the reversal of
Iran's nationalization confirmed the dominance of Western
corporations over the resources of the Global South for the next
twenty years. Drawing on years of research in American, British,
and Iranian sources, David S. Painter and Gregory Brew provide a
concise and accessible account of Cold War competition,
Anglo-American imperialism, covert intervention, the political
economy of global oil, and Iran's struggle against autocratic
government. The Struggle for Iran dispels myths and
misconceptions that have hindered understanding this pivotal
chapter in the history of the post-World War II world.
