Sommario/riassunto

U.S. Officials and the Fall of the Shah: Some Safe Contraction Interpretations explores U.S.-Iranian relations, with a focus on some high level U.S. officials' perceptions during the Iranian crisis of 1978-79. Unlike the dominant trend in cognitive approach to foreign policy, the approach in this book is not guided by reflections in psychology.
