He demonstrates that the majority of them were totally unaware of the culture and the way of life in Iran, making them severely handicapped.
Impact of British Influence
He points out to the utmost reliance placed by the American administration to the British opinions and guidance which they followed blindly, causing irreparable damage to the integrity of the United States, not only in Iran but in the whole Middle East.
