Today the stakes are even higher: such a war could break the back of America's strained superpower status. Challenging the daily clamor of U.S. saber rattling, Flynt and Hillary Mann Leverett argue that America should renounce thirty years of failed strategy and engage with Iran--just as Nixon revolutionized U.S. foreign policy by going to Beijing and realigning relations with China. Former analysts in both the Bush and Clinton administrations, the Leveretts offer a uniquely informed account of Iran as it actually is today, not as many have caricatured it or wished it to be. They show that Iran's political order is not on the verge of collapse, that most Iranians still support the Islamic Republic, and that Iran's regional influence makes it critical to progress in the Middle East. Drawing on years of research and access to high-level officials, Going to Tehran explains how Iran sees the world and why its approach to foreign policy is hardly the irrational behavior of a rogue nation. A bold call for new thinking, the Leveretts' indispensable work makes it clear that America must 'go to Tehran' if it is to avert strategic catastrophe"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $z Iran. 651 0 $a Iran $x Foreign relations $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $y 2001- 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Middle East / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / International Relations / Diplomacy. $2 bisacsh 856 42 $3 Cover image $u http://www.netread.com/jcusers2/bk1388/190/9780805094190/image/lgcover.9780805094190.jpg 941 $a 7 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728014433.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722033738.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20190717023524.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006070425.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20180523012335.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826064816.0 952 $l PRAX771 $d 20130302010819.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=52CAA7D25A2A11E285E15CBCDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IW9Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
