Book
All the Shah's Men
by Stephen Kinzer
This is the first full-length account of the CIA's coup d'etat in Iran in 1953—a covert operation whose consequences are still with us today. Written by a noted New York Times journalist, this book is based on documents about the coup (including some lengthy internal CIA reports) that have now been declassified. Stephen Kinzer's compelling narrative is at once a vital piece of history, a cautionary tale, and a real-life espionage thriller.
Book
Lies My Teacher Told Me
by James W. Loewen
Examines the reasons why wrong information has been provided in American history textbooks.
