Summary
The book provides a full account of the politics and intelligence of American relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran from the Carter presidency to the Obama administration. It accounts for 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 violation of human rights. It uses contemporaneous comparisons between developments in Iran and how they have been perceived 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.
