    SUMMARY

    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.
