The dramatic secret history of the undeclared, ongoing war between the US and Iran

For the past three decades, the United States and Iran have been engaged in an unacknowledged secret war. This conflict has frustrated five American presidents, divided administrations, and repeatedly threatened to bring the two nations to the brink of open warfare.

Drawing upon unparalleled access to senior officials and key documents of several US administrations, David Crist, a senior historian in the federal government, breaks new ground in virtually every section of The Twilight War.

From the Iranian Revolution to secret negotiations between Iran and the United States after 9/11 to Iran's nuclear program and sanctions against it, Crist brings vital new depth to our understanding of "the Iran problem" - and what the future of this tense relationship may bring.

This book is thorough in chronicling and bringing to light episodes between Iran and the West that are too often overlooked and simply not widely known. The author is American, but is impartial and faults and credits both sides where appropriate. Almost ten years after its publication, all the material in it is still highly interesting and relevant to understanding the continued complexities of international relations in the Middle East. The Twilight War is well worth reading in the 2020s

Still an excellent book and resource
