""An Experiment With Civilization Dictatorship In Iran: The Case Of Mohammed Mossadegh"" by N. Marbury Efimenco is a comprehensive historical account of the political turmoil in Iran during the early 1950s. The book focuses on the rise and fall of Mohammed Mossadegh, who was the first democratically elected Prime Minister of Iran. Mossadegh's government was overthrown in a coup orchestrated by the United States and Britain in 1953, which led to the reinstatement of the Shah of Iran and the establishment of a dictatorship. The book provides a detailed analysis of Mossadegh's policies and his attempts to nationalize Iran's oil industry, which was controlled by foreign companies. It also delves into the complex geopolitical dynamics of the time, including the Cold War and the rivalry between the US and the Soviet Union. The author examines the role of the CIA and MI6 in the coup, and how they used propaganda and covert operations to undermine Mossadegh's government. Through extensive research and interviews with key players in the events, Efimenco paints a vivid picture of the political climate in Iran during this period. The book also explores the impact of the coup on Iran's political and social landscape, including the rise of Islamic fundamentalism and the Iranian Revolution of 1979. Overall, ""An Experiment With Civilization Dictatorship In Iran: The Case Of Mohammed Mossadegh"" is a compelling read that sheds light on a pivotal moment in Iranian history and the complex forces that shaped it. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Middle Eastern politics, Cold War history, and the role of foreign powers in shaping the fate of nations. Additional Editors Include Manning J.

Dostoevsky's Disciples: Man And Sheep In Political Theory by Andrew Hacker is a book that explores the political theories of Fyodor Dostoevsky, a renowned Russian author, through the lens of his literary works. The book examines the ways in which Dostoevsky's ideas about human nature, morality, and society have influenced political thought throughout history, particularly in Russia. Hacker argues that Dostoevsky's works, such as Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov, offer a unique perspective on political theory, one that emphasizes the importance of individual freedom and responsibility. He also explores the ways in which Dostoevsky's ideas about human nature challenge traditional notions of rationality and morality, and how they have influenced political movements such as socialism and conservatism. Throughout the book, Hacker draws on a wide range of sources, including Dostoevsky's own writings, as well as the works of other political theorists and philosophers. He also provides a comprehensive analysis of Dostoevsky's literary style and themes, offering readers a deeper understanding of the author's contribution to political theory. Overall, Dostoevsky's Disciples: Man And Sheep In Political Theory is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of Dostoevsky's ideas and their relevance to contemporary political discourse. It will be of interest to anyone interested in political theory, Russian literature, or the intersection of literature and politics. Additional Editors Include Manning J.
