This book relates how, in 1951, Britain planned to use force in order to retain control of the world's largest oil refinery at Abadan. Units of the British navy, army and air force were deployed, given their preparatory orders and, at one point, brought to three hours notice. After many months and under strong pressure from the President of the United States, British forces were stood down, British subjects withdrawn from Abadan and oil wells, pipelines and refinery abandoned.
