Book excerpt: Comments on Study by Senior Former US Officials: Ambassador Bloomfield’s objective and thorough review of the history of the [MEK] since the early 70’s is a study that needs to be read by all. His work will be particularly useful to those in our administration charged with developing policy that is fair and consistent with the facts. --Former National Security Advisor General James L. Jones [This] unbiased review of the MEK’s history and goals…is long overdue, and a serious read for national security leaders developing regional and international policy on the MEK after its de-listing. --Former US Coordinator for Counterterrorism LTG Dell L. Dailey Ambassador Bloomfield’s analysis provides the most accurate assessment publicly available for understanding this long-maligned organization [the MEK], placing it in its proper local and historical context in pre- and post-revolutionary Iran. --Former State Department Director of Policy Planning and Special Envoy Ambassador Mitchell Reiss During my time as the Commander in Iraq from 2004-2007, my intelligence analysts struggled to reconcile reports about the MEK's past with reports from our leaders at Camp Ashraf on their daily interactions with the MEK. We would have welcomed this detailed look at their history. --Former US Army Chief of Staff General George W. Casey, Jr. This study portrays – devastatingly – how bureaucratic commitment to a point of view…can drive some within that bureaucracy to fight the impingement of inconvenient reality on their policy-driven view of the world. --Former US Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey Ambassador Linc Bloomfield’s account is tough but fair in setting the record straight….This report will benefit the policy process in Washington as the US seeks more effective approaches to avoiding a nuclear-armed Iran. Former Governor of New Mexico, Member of Congress and --US Ambassador to the UN Bill Richardson
Download or read book Tehran Rising written by Ilan Berman and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2007 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iran is the most significant current threat to the United States, the Middle East, and the West. As the evidence demonstrating this threat mounts, one thing remains clear to Ilan Berman: 'Washington is woefully unprepared to deal with this mounting peril.' Berman's approach is hard-hitting, provocative, alarmist, and unflinchingly critical. But he takes the indictment of Iran one step further providing what has been missing so far in the foreign policy discourse regarding Iran_both within the U.S. government and outside it_policy prescriptions designed to contain Iran's strategic ambitions.

Download or read book Losing an Enemy written by Trita Parsi and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive book on Obama's historic nuclear deal with Iran from the author of the Foreign Affairs Best Book on the Middle East in 2012 This timely book focuses on President Obama's deeply considered strategy toward Iran's nuclear program and reveals how the historic agreement of 2015 broke the persistent stalemate in negotiations that had blocked earlier efforts. The deal accomplished two major feats in one stroke: it averted the threat of war with Iran and prevented the possibility of an Iranian nuclear bomb. Trita Parsi, a Middle East foreign policy expert who advised the Obama White House throughout the talks and had access to decision-makers and diplomats on the U.S. and Iranian sides alike, examines every facet of a triumph that could become as important and consequential as Nixon's rapprochement with China. Drawing from more than seventy-five in-depth interviews with key decision-makers, including Iran's Foreign Minister Javad Zarif and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, this is the first authoritative account of President Obama's signature foreign policy achievement.

Book Synopsis The Iran–Iraq War by : Williamson Murray
Download or read book The Iran–Iraq War written by Williamson Murray and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-09-04 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Iran-Iraq War is one of the largest, yet least documented conflicts in the history of the Middle East. Drawing from an extensive cache of captured Iraqi government records, this book is the first comprehensive military and strategic account of the war through the lens of the Iraqi regime and its senior military commanders. It explores the rationale and decision-making processes that drove the Iraqis as they grappled with challenges that, at times, threatened their existence. Beginning with the bizarre lack of planning by the Iraqis in their invasion of Iran, the authors reveal Saddam's desperate attempts to improve the competence of an officer corps that he had purged to safeguard its loyalty to his tyranny, and then to weather the storm of suicidal attacks by Iranian religious revolutionaries. This is a unique and important contribution to our understanding of the history of war and the contemporary Middle East.

Book Synopsis Trends in Outside Support for Insurgent Movements by : Daniel Byman
Download or read book Trends in Outside Support for Insurgent Movements written by Daniel Byman and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2001-11-20 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most useful forms of outside support for an insurgent movement include safe havens, financial support, political backing, and direct military assistance. Because states are able to provide all of these types of assistance, their support has had a profound impact on the effectiveness of many rebel movements since the end of the Cold War. However, state support is no longer the only, or indeed necessarily the most important, game in town. Diasporas have played a particularly important role in sustaining several strong insurgencies. More rarely, refugees, guerrilla groups, or other types of non-state supporters play a significant role in creating or sustaining an insurgency, offering fighters, training, or other forms of assistance. This report assesses post-Cold War trends in external support for insurgent movements. It describes the frequency that states, diasporas, refugees, and other non-state actors back guerrilla movements. It also assesses the motivations of these actors and which types of support matter most. This book concludes by assessing the implications for analysts of insurgent movements.

The book depicts a region unbalanced, shaped by new and old tensions, struggling with a classic collective action dilemma, and anxious about Iraq's political future, as well as America's role in the region, all of which suggest trouble ahead absent concerted efforts to promote regional cooperation. In the volume's case studies ... [scholars] review Iraq's bilateral relationships with Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf Arab states, Syria, and Jordan and explore how Iraq's neighbors could advance the country's transition to security and stability. The volume also looks at the United States' relations with and long-term strategic interests in Iraq and offers recommendations for how the United States can help Iraq strengthen and grow"--Page 4 of cover.
