“A compelling biography... Bellaigue...writes with economy and a lightly ironic touch...The result is a three-dimensional profile of Mossadegh that contrasts sharply with the heroic democrat mythologized by his supporters.” (Wall Street Journal)
“Economist Tehran correspondent de Bellaigue uses plenty of local insight to provide general readers with an intriguing combination of biography, history and strategic study.” (Kirkus Reviews)
“...superbly researched...” (Huffington Post)
“...a major strength of the book is that it does not seek to lionize the protagonist.” (Washington Independent Review of Books)
“Brilliant...A sweeping new biography...also a rich portrait of Iran amid the revolutionary upheaval of anti-colonial reform movements...-the antecedent, in many ways, of today’s Middle East uprisings.” (The Daily)
“...thanks to veteran journalist Christopher de Bellaigue’s brisk, engaging 300-page biography, Mossadegh’s strange personality and at times baffling motives come into clearer focus.” (The Daily Beast)
“A timely book...elegantly written...feels both fresh and relevant...highlights the dangers of a foreign policy that ignores the perceptions of those with memories longer than our own.” (The Guardian)
“Superbly timed...portrays some fascinating, and often farcical, stories of political life in Iran” (Independent)
“Compelling... the West has handled its relationship with Iran as badly as possible... we have little leverage with its people...de Bellaigue’s book goes far to explain why.” (Max Hastings, Sunday Times (London))
“De Bellaigue’s book is unsurpassed as a rounded portrait of Mossadegh.” (Times Literary Supplement (London))
Christopher de Bellaigue has worked as a journalist in South Asia and the Middle East, writing for the Economist and the Financial Times, the Independent, and the New York Review of Books.
