Mr. Ansari disappoints as compared to other authors' discourse on the genre.

A good book, that attempts to explain the impact of events such as the 1953 overthrow of the Iranian government, the 1979 Hostage Crisis, the Iran/Iraq War, 9/11, and Operations Enduring/Iraqi Freedom on Iranian/U.S.

Although Confronting Iran has some merits (albeit only a few), the shortcomings of this book are what unfortunately stand out. Had I not just finished Trita Parsi's book Treacherous Alliance: The Secret Dealings of Israel, Iran, and the United States, I would have reacted more favorably to Ansari's book, but at the end of the day, if you're only going to read one book concerning Iran and the U.
