{"product_id":"worlds-apart","title":"Worlds Apart","description":"\u003cp\u003eA relationship beset with extraordinary acrimony, the US and Iran rarely see eye-to-eye, if only to avoid war or nuclear catastrophe. What is at the core of this troubled rivalry that has stymied policymakers and scholars alike? Using a carefully selected collection of White House, CIA, State Department, and other records, Worlds Apart provides a comprehensive answer to this question: starting from the 1979 revolution and hostage crisis, through the Iran-Iraq War and the spread of radical Islam, to 9\/11 and the nuclear impasse, to the 2009 Green Movement and the Obama and Trump presidencies. The records, which form the heart of the book, offer a rare, unfiltered view into the perspectives and experiences of the American and Iranian governments over 40 years. Providing timelines, glossaries, discussion questions, and a guide on reading declassified documents, Byrne and Byrne explore this complicated relationship accessibly and innovatively in this unique documentary history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores over sixty once-highly classified White House, CIA and State Department records as well as a selection of Iranian materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers a unique perspective into the lives and viewpoints of American and Iranian protagonists themselves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides an evidence-based foundation for understanding the next critical phase in US-Iran relations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56459713282434,"sku":"9781108971546","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0475\/2031\/7597\/files\/9781108971546i.jpg?v=1773245097","url":"https:\/\/www.cambridgebookshop.co.uk\/products\/worlds-apart","provider":"Cambridge University Press Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
