Format:Paperback
This interesting book provides a well-documented analysis of trilateral relationship between Iran, Israel and the US over the past 30 years or more. The aspirations of the government of Iran to increase their sphere of influence within the Islamic and mainly Arab countries in the Middle East have made them to take anti-Israeli stance. During the earlier years since Islamic revolution, the anti-Israeli slogans were mainly a show by the Iranian government for the Arabs masses in the region, without necessarily transpiring into a plan of action. Indeed, during the earlier years, the two government of Iran and Israel had many dealings behind the scene, to supply arms to Iran during Iran-Iraq war at the aftermath of US embassy crisis in Tehran. The book further stipulates that over the last decade the hostility of Iran and Israel has taken a different turn for the worse, as the Iranian support for Hizbullah has increased and the politicians in Israel have made a dramatic shift on the foreign policy doctorine.

Format:Hardcover
This is an exceptional look inside a diplomatic house of mirrors: the ongoing evolution of relationships among Iran, Israel and the U.S., and where their motives, rhetoric, realpolitik and military power converge. Trita Parsi's sophisticated analysis of this complex, high-stakes, long-standing triad presents many surprises, perhaps even to those who think they know the inner workings of the Middle East and U.S. diplomacy. Parsi offers an advanced understanding of complicated modern diplomacy and insights about the future. His real expertise emerges in both history and analysis, though it is hard to know if his role as president of the National Iranian American Council may be a factor in his opinions. getAbstract advocates his book to anyone who wants to comprehend the doctrines and strategies behind Iran's relations with the U.S. and Israel.
Format:Paperback
I read the book "All the Shah's men" and enjoyed Trita Parsi's approach much more even though I must admit that the
subject/focus wasn't totally the same. The book is told in chronological order and compared to
All the Shah's men it focuses on Iran and its political ambitions, relationship between the governments of Middle East
instead of little minor details, which don't interest me that much. The books opens a whole new window for the reader and
gives you insight of the public or behind the scene dealings between Iran, US and Israel. From now on I look even more
closely at the news regarding Iran, Israel and neighbouring states, Iran's nuclear ambitions and how other states are
reacting to their actions or rhetoric.
The book was very well written, structured and researched - definitely worth reading, if you are even remotely into politics
or interested in Iran.
