Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book delves into the complex history of Iran's relations with the West since the 1979 revolution, revealing a nation often mischaracterized as solely extremist. It outlines four distinct periods in Iranian policy, highlighting the interplay of Islamism, pragmatism, and power dynamics that have shaped its approach. By examining the shifts from revolutionary fervor to the confrontational stance under Ahmadinejad, the author argues for a nuanced understanding of Iran, suggesting that the U.S. should engage with its complexities rather than resort to demonization.
