Description
The CIA Insider's Guide to the Iran Crisis: From CIA Coup to the Brink of War This book provides a detailed analysis of the complex and often contentious history of US-Iran relations, from the CIA-backed coup in 1953 to the current tensions between the two nations. Former CIA Officer John Kiriakou and investigative journalist Gareth Porter examine the official narratives that have shaped US policy towards Iran over the years, revealing a pattern of misinformation and manipulation that has led to decades of hostility. The authors explore the key events and decisions that have driven the US-Iran relationship, including the role of British and Russian imperialism, the support for Saddam Hussein's regime, and the impact of the nuclear deal. They argue that the current "Maximum Pressure" campaign is increasing the risk of war and demand a more nuanced and informed approach to US policy. With appendices featuring key official documents, this book offers a unique and authoritative perspective on one of the most critical and complex issues of our time.
