Front Cover
4 Reviews
YALE University Press, 1988 - Political Science - 520 pages
A thought-provoking exploration of the American-Iranian relationship, from the 1940s through the Iran-Conrta affair and its aftermath, James Bill, a well-known authority on the Middle East, has not only lived in Iran but also closely observed U.S. policy-making toward that country. He draws on interviews with many of the key American and Iranian figures, embassy files, Persian sources, archival records, and other sources from both countries to write this definitive analysis of American-Iranian relations.
