One document describes Mosaddeq as one of the "most mercurial, maddening, adroit, and provocative leaders with whom they [the US and Britain] had ever dealt". The document says Mosaddeq "found the British evil, not incomprehensible", and "he and millions of Iranians believed that for centuries Britain had manipulated their country for British ends".
