Product Description

Review

"An impressive, must-read book - every page from Chris Emery offers information and an analysis of US-Iranian relations which avoid simple judgements and offers thoughtful insight instead. This will become the definitive work on America's tense, often disastrous relations with the young Islamic Republic, and it is just as relevant for those considering the wary manoeuvring between Washington and Tehran today." - Professor Scott Lucas, University of Birmingham, UK

"The book represents a much-needed and unbiased analysis of the strategic and domestic pressures driving US engagement with Iran; a book that members of the Obama Administration should read if engagement with Iran is to continue." Luca Trenta, University of Nottingham, UK

"The British scholar Christian Emery, lecturer at the University of Plymouth, has produced a dispassionate, scholarly and balanced account of a very difficult episode in American foreign policy. ... Emery does a great service by stepping back from the polemics and bringing his considerable gifts for clarity and analysis to the question. He shows us that there is plenty of blame to go around on both sides. His cast of characters includes politicians infected with short-sightedness, opportunism and obsessions. It also includes people who sought to do the right thing and struggled to make sense out of events they did not understand. ... Emery, better than many analysts, understands the weight of history." - John Limbert, United States Naval Academy, USA

5.0 out of 5 starsA Must Read for those interested in US-Iran Relations
By Bryan Gibson on 17 Jun. 2015
Format: Hardcover
This is an excellent analysis of America's policies toward Iran during the 1978-79 Iranian Revolution. Using primary sources, like documents and interviews, Dr. Emery really seems to grasp the true dynamics of US policy during and after the revolution. More importantly, he delves deep into important historical debates, particularly the mystery surrounding an American effort to provide the Bazargan government with intelligence on Iraq just prior to the Iranian hostage crisis. For those who are interested in the origins of America's policies toward Iran, this book is a must read.
