About this product
Product Information
The year is 1953. As the value of oil skyrockets, global power brokers are taking an increased interest in the ruling political regimes of the Middle East. British agents have controlled Iranian oil exports for a generation, with the tacit approval of the Shah, but the landscape there has started to change. Democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh's calls to overthrow the elites and take back Iran resonates among the people, and immediately American, British and Persian agents begin to hatch plans of overthrow. Deals are made behind closed doors. Every actor has a stake. Iran's oil will flow to the West, by any means necessary. Operation Ajax is the story of the CIA coup that removed Mossadegh and reinstalled the monarchy. Produced by a team of award-winning artists, Operation Ajax is a thrilling tale of real-life intrigue.Product Identifiers

Reviews"A stunning and truly immersive experience--a story of oil and espionage that details the deceit, action, and intrigue behind one of the biggest blows to Iran's continuing fight for freedom. Aesthetically beautiful." --Reza Aslan, author of Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus Nazareth "Important stories that grab you because of their artistry and their beautiful images." --Amy Goodman "An ambitious work of artistry." --Brian Thies, comic book artist, Star Wars: Legacy , Winter Soldier "Emotionally and politically charged, Operation Ajax delivers a convincing narrative that derives its drama not from its impressive presentation or dramatic fury, but from uncomfortable truths." --Kevin Hanna, comic book writer and artist, The Clockwork Girl , Creature Academy "One of the coolest media experiences I've seen on the iPad." -- New York Times (in praise of the Operation Ajax app), Praise for the Operation Ajax app: "You can just see the story. You can dig down deeper and see the actual CIA documents. You can identify with people in it. And you can learn about a fledgeling democracy." --Amy Goodman, Democracy Now! "One of the coolest media experiences I've seen on the iPad." -- New York Times
