  Electronic Briefing Book: The Secret CIA History of the Iran Coup
Written in March 1954 by Donald Wilber, one of the operation’s chief planners, the 200-page document is essentially an after-action report, apparently based in part on agency cable traffic and Wilber’s interviews with agents who had been on the ground in Iran as the operation lurched to its conclusion.
Long-sought by historians, the Wilber history is all the more valuable because it is one of the relatively few documents that still exists after an unknown quantity of materials was destroyed by CIA operatives — reportedly “routinely” — in the 1960s, according to former CIA Director James Woolsey.
Wilber was not in Iran while the coup was occurring, and his account of it can only have been based on his debriefing of Kermit Roosevelt and other participants.

 Foreign Affairs - Book Review - Adventures in the Middle East: Excursions and Incursions - Donald N. Wilber
Donald Wilber was both an intelligence agent (OSS and CIA) and a specialist on the history, culture and architecture of the Middle East, Iran in particular.
His diverting and occasionally amusing memoirs are long on personal experiences and rather short on intelligence operations, partly by preference, partly because the CIA would not declassify what he wanted to say.
Wilber claims authorship of the plan and goes out of his way to fault Kermit Roosevelt's account in Countercoup (reviewed in Foreign Affairs, Fall 1980) for what he charges are its many errors of fact.
