I thought this coup was outed by FOIA documents while I was still in college around 9/11 time. I highly recommend All The Shah's Men if you want a good run-down of what happened. Even the CIA history FOIA document reads a bit like a James Bond novel. Kermit Roosevelt Junior was quite the Bond-like character and the Operation Ajax coup gets busted by the government days before they rescue the captured agents and complete the operation. Thrilling story for a real life tale.
