	Description:		The coup of 1953 changed the course of Iranian history. The USA - with British help - overthrew a nationalist president and installed the Shah in power. In 2010, Alan Johnston heard archive recordings of the CIA officer who played a part and spoke to Hedayat Matine-Daftary, the grandson of Mohammed Mossadeq, the deposed president.
