History Used and Abused
Tehran Bureau / Ervan Abrahamian

In Nov. 1951, the British Embassy reported that Kashani was so disgruntled with Mosaddeq that he had put out “feelers” in many directions, including the royal court and the U.S. Embassy. “The Americans,” reported the British  Embassy, “have told us in the strictest confidence that he [ Kashani] has been in touch with them. His main thesis is the danger of communism and the need for immediate American aid.” Ayatollah Kashani (white beard) pictured above with Navab Safavi.

I just ordered three books from Abrahamian. He was mentioned in another discussion too and I'm now curious enough!

Khomeinism

If you want to know more about the ideology of the IRI, I strongly recommand reading Ervand Abrahamian's Khomeinism. Here we just have a small part but the rest of the book is as fascinating in its accuracy. A job well done.
