Turbulent Iran

Mehr zum Buch

Sir Eldon Griffiths' "snapshots" of Iran are rich in anecdotes, interviews with Mossadegh and the Shah, revelations about the origins of Iran's nuclear power program, insights into the President Carter's failed attempt to rescue the American diplomats held captive by Khomeini's Revolutionary Guards and President Reagan's offer to trade U.S. missiles for other U.S. hostages. Recent visits to Iran lead the author to suggest a twin track peace deal based on a non-aggression pact covering Iran's fears of invasion, the future security of Iraq and a nuclear free Middle East.
