The Carter Administration and the Fall of Iran’s Pahlavi Dynasty

US-Iran Relations on the Brink of the 1979 Revolution

About this book

This book is a tale of loss: the loss of Iran as America's main ally and agent in the Middle East and the downfall of the short-lived Pahlavi monarchy and America's inability and unwillingness to prevent its demise. Khomeini's triumph altered America's perception of Islam and fundamentally changed its relationship with Iran.
