Book by Trita Parsi investigates the covert and often contradictory relationships between Israel, Iran, and the US from the Shah era through the post-9/11 period, revealing how Israeli-Iranian strategic cooperation coexisted with public antagonism and how these shifting alliances shaped US Middle East policy. Parsi draws on interviews with senior officials from all three countries to document how geopolitical maneuvering between these parties influenced American engagement in the region. Recommended for policy analysts and researchers studying the geopolitical context of US Middle East policy, the covert dimensions of the US-Israel-Iran triangle, and the strategic environment shaping American engagement with the Israel-Palestine conflict.
