The CIA's Kermit Roosevelt
Kermit Roosevelt was chief of the CIA's Near East and Africa Division. He entered Iran on July 19th, 1953 with a pretty big mission ahead of him. The goal was to get rid of Iran's Prime Minister, Bahamad Mosedem. Stephen Kinzer wrote a groundbreaking book on this coup called... All the Shazmint and Sonam Bakkim.
