US Foreign Policy and the Iranian Revolution: The Cold War Dynamics of Engagement and Strategic Alliance

Emery, C.

This book provides a fresh perspective on the origins of the confrontation between the US and Iran. It demonstrates that, contrary to the claims of Iran's leaders, there was no instinctive American hostility towards the Revolution, and explains why many assumptions guiding US policy were inappropriate for dealing with the new reality in Iran.
