Editorial Reviews
Review
"This is an important piece of work. It is original and fills a much needed gap in the literature. For anyone working in this field it would be essential."-Gary Sick, Columbia University (Gary Sick )
"This book is outstanding and important."-Nikki Keddie, author of Modern Iran: Roots and Results of Revolution (Nikki Keddie )
"In Treacherous Alliance, Trita Parsi makes a persuasive case that since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Iran has consistently used ideology to achieve hardheaded national interest objectives, rather than sacrifice national interest on the altar of extremist ideological goals.
