…book recommendations for understanding u.s. iran history and conflict
“I would recommend a couple of books outside of the norm, perhaps. I know you've had a lot of folks talking about Iran lately, and they all mentioned some of the great classics in the field, but especially because we're talking about the U.S.-Iran relationship, I wanted to recommend one, The Twilight War by David Crist. The subtitle is The Secret History of America's 30-Year Conflict with Iran, so it's obviously a little bit outdated, but David Crist is a Pentagon historian, and he writes about the Tanker War period, as well as other skirmishes between the United States and Iran.”
