About the Book
Iran and the United States are on a collision course. Washington’s sabre rattling in response to Iran’s hardline government eerily evokes U.S. rhetoric prior to the invasion of Iraq.
In Targeting Iran David Barsamian presents the perspectives of three experts on Iran who discuss the 1953 CIA coup and the rise of the Islamic regime; Iran’s internal dynamics and competing forces; relations with Iraq and Afghanistan; and the consequences of U.S. policy.
In a new introduction to the Indian edition Barsamian discusses in depth the emerging scenario in Iran after June 2009 elections, and U.S. preoccupation with Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Reviews
"This slim book is heavy with historical and cultural background that doesn't often find its way into news accounts; it's a great primer on a simmering conflict."
– Publishers Weekly
"Insightful, timely, and laced with rich historical perspective, Targeting Iran presents a bracing exploration of Iran's current place in the world, and its tangled relationship with the West. These fascinating interviews capture Iran’s complexity and illuminate the morning’s headlines."
– Azadeh Moaveni, author of Lipstick Jihad:
