註釋"In this account of Iran's fraught relations with the United States and other Western nations, Ali M. Ansari sets the current crisis in the context of a long history of mutual antagonism. Despite the absence of formal diplomatic relationships, Iran and the United States have loomed large in each other's domestic politics for decades. From the overthrow of Mosaddeq in 1953 to the hostage crisis in 1979 and, more recently, the Gulf War and the War in Iraq, both Iranian and American politicians have forged narratives about an "evil empire" lying half a world away. This mutual distrust has militated against detente between the two nations. In the absence of any coherent American policy on Iran, it may soon lead to war." "Based on extensive knowledge of Iranian sources as well as unparalleled access to senior officials in Iran, the United States and Europe, Ansari reveals a disturbing history of failed diplomacy, missed opportunities, and bureaucratic wrangling that have brought us to this point of crisis. Confronting Iran is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the past, present, and future of this frightening standoff."--BOOK JACKET.
