Book Description
This book provides the first full account of America’s relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran from Jimmy Carter’s presidency to Barack Obama’s. It discusses all major facets of Iranian policy of interest to the United States: nuclear proliferation, revolutionary export and support for international terrorism, efforts to undermine the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, and violations of human rights. It compares developments in Iran to their perception in Washington, providing the clearest picture available yet of the discrepancies between the complex and elusive Iranian reality and its understanding in the United States.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“If you wish to understand why Tehran has come so close to obtaining nuclear weapons, and why its dogged quest for the bomb can be stopped only by coercive measures, this is the book to read.'”
