In particular, it focuses on struggles within the United States around public and congressional opinion with regard to the accord. Trying to prevent a successful outcome to the talks became a cottage industry in Washington, with the casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson being just one of those who were pouring millions of dollars into the effort. On the pro-diplomacy side, there were a wide range of religious, peace, and arms control groups with some financial support coming from the Ploughshares Fund trying to create the space for a negotiated agreement. The tactics of both sides of the debate are described and analyzed to show how a contentious foreign policy issue can become not just a decision for high-level government decision makers, but a wide-ranging fight that involves scores of nongovernmental organizations, the media, and thousands of activists. 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aAmerica$xPolitics and government 606 $aDiplomacy 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aMiddle East$xPolitics and government 606 $aPolitics and International Studies 606 $aAmerican Politics 606 $aDiplomacy 606 $aForeign Policy 606 $aMiddle Eastern Politics 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aAmerica$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aDiplomacy. 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aMiddle East$xPolitics and government. 615 14$aPolitics and International Studies. 615 24$aAmerican Politics. 615 24$aDiplomacy. 615 24$aForeign Policy. 615 24$aMiddle Eastern Politics. 676 $a355.02170955 700 $aJett$b Dennis C$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0561757 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300514503321 996 $aThe Iran Nuclear Deal$92033398 997 $aUNINA
