Treacherous Alliance: The Secret Dealings of Israel, Iran, and the U.S.: Amazon.co.uk: Trita Parsi: Books

Product Description

Review
"In "Treacherous Alliance," Trita Parsi makes a persuasive case that since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Iran has consistently used ideology to achieve hardheaded national interest objectives, rather than sacrifice national interest on the altar of extremist ideological goals. This is an extremely important point to bear in mind as Iran''s relations with US and Israel deteriorate and the prospect of yet another Persian Gulf conflict looms. This work, based on extensive interviews with decision makers in three countries, contributes both to our historical understanding and our current policy debate."--Francis Fukuyama, author of "America at the Crossroads"

By	S. SARPAL (Netherlands) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Having read many books on the middle east, I was truly glued to Parsi's Treacherous alliance. The book sheds light on the real 'behind the scenes' policies of Iran and Israel and their relationships to the US and each other. Starting from the Shah's regime and Israel's wars with its neighbours, and then relationships through the cold war and finally to present day politics, several interesting points are highlighted, namely: How Iran helped the US in Afghanistan in order to defeat the Taliban; the secret transfer of US weapons via Israel to Iran during the Iran-Iraq war; as well as statements from Israel's intelligence officials reporting that 'Iran is not a threat to Israel'. In summary, a must read for anyone interested in middle east politics!
