This book reconstructs and explains the arms relationship that
successive U.S. administrations developed with the Shah of Iran
between 1950 and 1979. This relationship has generally been
neglected in the extant literature leading to a series of omissions
and distortions in the historical record. By detailing how and why
Iran transitioned from a primitive military aid recipient in the
1950s to America's primary military credit customer in the late
1960s and 1970s, this book provides a detailed and original
contribution to the understanding of a key Cold War episode in U.S.
foreign policy. By drawing on extensive declassified documents from
more than 10 archives, the investigation demonstrates not only the
importance of the arms relationship but also how it reflected, and
contributed to, the wider evolution of U.S.-Iranian relations from
a position of Iranian client state dependency to a situation where
the U.S. became heavily leveraged to the Shah for protection of the
Gulf and beyond - until the policy met its disastrous end in 1979
as an antithetical regime took power in Iran. This book will be of
interest to students and scholars of Middle East studies, US
Foreign Policy and Security studies and for those seeking better
foundations for which to gain an understanding of U.S. foreign
policy in the final decade of the Cold War, and beyond.
