摘要

With American and British troops occupying Iraq and the Bush Administration rattling its sabers at Iran, Stephen Kinzer's entertaining and sometimes shocking All the Shah's Men is timely indeed. Focused on the 1953 U. S.-sponsored coup in Iran, the volume serves as a useful reminder that troublesome regimes do not come out of nowhere. Eather, the U.S. and Britain have at times helped construct them.
