Story Description:

Cognito is proud to present, in collaboration with best-selling author Stephen Kinzer, the true life spy thriller, CIA : Operation Ajax. As the value of oil explodes in world markets, global power brokers begin to take interest in the ruling political regimes of the Middle East. In Iran, British agents have controlled oil exports for a generation. The shah is holding on to a shaky peace as a new charismatic leader enters the scene. Secret deals, underground rumors of revolt, and dark plots of government overthrow are employed by American, British, and Persian agents. Irans oil would flow, by any means necessary. Every actor has a stake in the game. No one can be trusted. Nothing is as it seems.

Learn about the incredible true history of the CIA plot to stage a coup of Irans government. Recently declassified documents, historic photos, and actual film reels from the era are embedded into the story. See Eisenhower, Churchill, the Dulles brothers, Mossadegh, and the Shah in a whole new light.

Pros and cons of CIA : Operation Ajax the Interactive Graphic Novel for iPhone app for iPhone and iPad

CIA : Operation Ajax the Interactive Graphic Novel for iPhone app good for

Great story, art, and sound design. Sucked me in from start to finish.
I already knew about the subject but this app took the story to another level. Its certainly one of the most innovative way of telling a story. Everything is great; the drawing, the sound, the dialogues, the colors... Just perfect! There should be more and more works like this. I believe this is most likely the future for graphic novels.
Shows how the Iran has been influenced by global governments and how the irans way delevopped up to the state everyones threatening today...
Wonderful comic and awesome sound effect! I love it best app on my phone
Youll have fun reading it and may even learn something about the connection of Great Britain - Iran - USA - Oil.
One of the best apps on App Store, really interesting story; and fantastic comics. Thanks

Some bad moments

Its just a big lie, still there some people who wants my country as a village,
Foreign hands have always installed their puppets like Khomeini and Shah. Mosadegh the only truly elected by people of Iran
Pretty rad. I used to really love graphic novels, but I never thought they transferred well to digital devices. I now stand corrected--the producers of this app really understand how to make it work on an iPhone. The storys a solid spies-and-politics story (based on real events); it starts a little slow, but it picks up pretty good by chapter 4. Worth it, takes about a short flight to read. Id call it a page-turner if it had pages.
If the US ends up in a war with Iran, this exciting story tells how Iraninan-US hostilities began. It is fascinating to see how CIA run cold war covert operations of the 1950s endangers world peace in the 21st century. You have done an incredible job telling this complex story in such an exciting and interesting way. I couldnt put it down. Please publish more such historical graphic novels.
This is a must-buy any way you look at it. One of the first apps to truly "get" visual storytelling on a screen. If youve never seen the iPad app, get this not only for the fascinating story it tells, but also the elegant and groundbreaking way the story is told. If youve already seen the iPad app - as I have - its worth getting just to see how the story has been transposed to the smaller screen. Some truly great creative minds are behind this. Dont miss out. Well worth the price.
When the title screen is so bad that it looks like it is in another language there is no reason to continue. This looks horrible on the ipad 2 whether you double the size or leave it at the original iphone size.
