Dealer Notes
Written when Kermit Roosevelt was director of the committee for Justice and Peace in the Holy Land. Kermit Roosevelt was the grandson of President Theodore Roosevelt. "Mr. Roosevelt's best-known exploit was as director of the 1953 coup that overthrew the leader of Iran, Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh, a nationalist who concerned Washington because he was supported by the Iranian Communists at the height of the cold war. Earlier this year, the Central Intelligence Agency's secret history of the coup surfaced, providing a detailed account of the overthrow, which brought Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlevi to power."
