The disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is only the latest black mark in
the annals of the corporate oil giant, British Petroleum. In this booklet,
Frederic Clairmont looks back at the central, sordid role played by BP
during a pivotal chapter in the history of anti-imperial struggle. It was in
Iran (then Persia) that the company first struck oil in 1908 and it was the
Iranian government of Prime Minister Mohammad Mossaadeq that
nationalized the company's assets in 1951. However, Mossadeq's valiant
effort to reclaim the nation's natural wealth and secure for Iran genuine
economic and political independence met with a devastating counterstrike
from the company's backers in the corridors of imperial power.
