Trade Review
"William Beeman's analysis of dissonant perceptions of Iran and the United States 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"
