Mosaddeq became prime minister of Iran in May 1951 and promptly nationalized its British-controlled oil industry, initiating a bitter confrontation between Iraq and Britain that increasingly undermined Mossaddeq's position. He was finally overthrown in August 1953 in a coup d'etat that was organized and led by the United States Central Intelligence Agency. This coup initiated a twenty-five-year period of dictatorship in Iran, leaving many Iranians resentful of the U.S. legacies that still haunt relations between the two countries today. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContents include: \"Mosaddeq's Government in Iranian History: Arbitrary Rule, Democracy, and the 1953 Coup\" - Homa Katouzian; \"Unseating Mosaddeq: The Configuration and Role of Domestic Forces\" - Fakhreddin Azimi; \"The 1953 Coup in Iran and the Legacy of the Tudeh\" - Maziar Behrooz; \"Great Britain and the Intervention in Iran, 1953\" - Wm.
