This is an interesting read. You may enjoy The Struggle for Iran: Oil, Autocracy, and the Cold War, 1951–1954 (2023) by David Painter and Gregory Brew, who make use of more newly declassified documents.
Thank you, Dr. Bowlus — I’ll add Painter and Brew to the list. The declassified material from that period keeps reshaping the picture. Ervand Abrahamian’s work on the Tudeh dimension was one of the threads I found most underexplored in mainstream accounts. Appreciate the recommendation and glad the piece resonated.
