Dr Mossadeq and the Nationalisation of Anglo-Iranian Oil - a reconstruction by John Eidinow
Mossadeq is remembered in the West as the old man who became Prime Minister of Iran in 1951 and promptly nationalised British oil holdings.
The affair was the first test of will between the West and a Middle Eastern nation with nationalist aspirations - first rehearsal of themes which were to become dominant in relations both between the Middle East and the West, and between Britain and the USA.
With quotations from the published memoirs of politicians and diplomats, and the recorded recollections of British politicians:
Lord Shinwell, Lord Stewart of Fulham
British diplomats: Lord Franks, Sir George Middleton, Sir Denis Wright.
American diplomats: Averell Harriman, Kermit Roosevelt, Paul Nitze.

" '
