Description
Book SynopsisGiven the ambiguous nature of Iran's global objectives, this new study focuses on the tangible aspects of Iran's military forces and takes an objective look at the realistic threats that Iran poses to the region and the world.
Trade Review"In this encyclopedic, informative book, Cordesman and Kleiber provide detailed data on Iran's current military capabilities and the structure of its armed forces, including the Revolutionary Guard Corps. They also describe Iran's missile capabilities and its evolving nuclear program. This is one of the most comprehensive books on mainstream American perspectives on Iran's military challenges to Persian Gulf stability, but it should be balanced by reading original Iranian sources that deal with existing and very real threats to the country's national security and territorial integrity. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduate, graduate, and research collections." -
