Autograph; 8vo; 105, (2) pages; Inscribed and Signed by the author on half-title "To Polly and Kim / with love / from Dan / Dec. 1, 1979" Kermit "Kim" Roosevelt, Jr. (1916 — 2000), grandson of Theodore Roosevelt, joined the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) after college and worked in the Middle East during the Second World War. After the War, Roosevelt was recruited to the espionage and counter-intelligence branch of the Central Intelligence Agency. He became the mastermind of the CIA's Operation Ajax, which orchestrated the coup against Mohammed Mossadegh and returned Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran, to Iran's Peacock Throne in August 1953. A major economic consequence of this coup was the ceding of 40% of Iran's oil business from the British controlled Anglo-Iranian Oil Company to U.S. oil companies. Kim Roosevelt's wife Polly [ne Mary Lowe Gaddis] graduated from Radcliffe College in 1939 and the couple settled in Washington the next year.During World War II, Mrs. Roosevelt was a Gray Lady with the American Red Cross. She wrote from Washington for the Times of London from 1945 to 1947 and volunteered with the American Heart Association. They had four children -- Kermit III, Jonathan, Mark and Anne.; Signed by Author.…
