Produktbeschreibung
Choice Outstanding Academic Title 2014Scores of books have been written by Western experts, mainly American, looking at the root causes of the conflict between Iran and the US. However, none of them have presented an inside look at this complex relationship from within the Iranian culture, society, and most importantly, the Iranian policy-making system. This gap has been the cause of misperceptions, misanalyses, and conflict, followed by the adoption of US policies that have failed to achieve their objectives. Seyed Hossein Mousavian worked for over 30 years on diplomatic efforts between Iran and the West, serving in numerous official posts, and as a confidante, colleague, and peer to many former and current high ranking Iranian officials, including now-President Hassan Rouhani and Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif. Here the former diplomat gives an insider's history of the troubled relationship between Iran and the US. His unique firsthand perspective blends memoir, analysis, and never before seen details of the many near misses in the quest for rapprochement. With so much at stake, the book concludes with a roadmap for peace that both nations so desperately need.

Rezensionen
Mousavian offers a history of American-Iranian relations that will be familiar to many scholars; however, Mousavian's unique perspective provides new insights into the relationship. His knowledge of the inner workings of the Iranian political system and political culture provide a previously unavailable account of the history of this relationship. The book demonstrates the primary importance of understanding the "other," and the significance of understanding the politics and culture of rivals [.] a must read for any serious student interested in understanding Iran and the Iranian perspective.
