It is easy to forget, given the oppositional dynamic between Iran
and the United States of the last 50 years, that these two
countries once shared productive partnership. Tracing US-Iran
relations over two turbulent centuries, Firoozeh Kashani-Sabet
considers when and how this relationship went awry. With careful
attention to social and cultural as well as diplomatic
developments, Kashani-Sabet shows that the rift did not originate
in flashpoints of crisis, like the 1953 coup or the 1979 Islamic
Revolution, but was instead long in the making. Drawing from a
wealth of English and Persian-language sources, many of which were
previously unavailable or unacknowledged, this book considers the
relationship from the vantage point of Iranian society and the
experiences of an evolving Iran that strived to accommodate
American and great power politics. Following these two nations
through wars, decolonization, and revolution, Kashani-Sabet
presents an invaluable history of a diplomatic rivalry that informs
geopolitics to this day.
