Publisher's Synopsis
"William Beeman's analysis of dissonant perceptions of Iran and the USA is compelling and important. . . . I am particularly grateful for this work."-James Peacock, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
"[Beeman] is more interested in informing the reader than in impressing his peers. The other strength of the book lies in the author's knowledge of Iranian history and culture. . . . It challenges the reader and forces him to question stereotypes about Iran and Washington's perspective on the country."-Abbas William Samii, Middle East Journal
