Book •
John Ghazvinian's The U.S.
and Iran offers a narrative history of the fraught relationship between Washington and Tehran, examining key moments from early contacts through the 20th century and into the post‑revolutionary era.
Ghazvinian draws on archival sources and interviews to analyze how misunderstandings, interventions, and competing interests shaped bilateral ties.
The book explores themes of imperialism, nationalism, oil politics, and the influence of domestic politics on foreign policy, seeking to provide balanced context for both U.S.
and Iranian perspectives.
Praised for its readability and depth, it serves as a useful complement to more explicitly ideological accounts by situating events within diplomatic history.
It is aimed at general readers and scholars interested in modern Middle Eastern history and international relations.
