1953 is an important year in the cultural Cold War in the Middle East: the opening of the first Franklin office in Cairo, the 1953 coup in Iran, and the death of Stalin. We have now a new documentary about the role of Britain in the 1953 coup in Iran. The film promises to be of great interest as it draws on recently unclassified documents.
