Tehran, 1953. After the nationalization of oil by Prime Minister Mossadegh, France tries to replace Great Britain but comes up against a conspiracy led by the CIA: Operation Ajax.

These “diplomatic chronicles”, published by Éditions du Lombard, aim to shed light on recent history by relying on abundant and precise documentation.

Christophe Simon's drawing lends itself perfectly to the time, and screenwriter Tristan Roulot succeeds in giving the narration a very modern perspective.
