 Did the West cause the rise of Islam? | Anthony McRoy
Mosaddeq was an Iranian secular nationalist, who wanted to turn his country into a British-style constitutional monarchy with a democratic parliament.
There is an investigation into the nature of Mosaddeq’s democratic experiment, the domestic forces that sought his overthrow, the position of the Communist Tudeh party, Britain’s crucial role in the coup, the international boycott of Iranian oil, and the mechanics of the actual CIA coup itself.
The connection between these books is that the overthrow of Mosaddeq led eventually to the mass popular revolution that overthrew the Shah and US power in Iran, just as the defeat of Nasser in 1967 set in motion the rise of Sunni Islamism.
