- Nixon, Kissinger, and the Shah (OUP, 2014; pp. xi + 255) provides the first scholarly account of US-Iranian relations in the 1960s and 1970s. Research and writing took over five years, including three years’ archival research in America as well as research in Britain and with Farsi-language diaries, letters and newspapers, interviews, and oral history. It details the Shah’s influence on President Nixon’s Persian Gulf policy, his drawing of America into a covert operation supporting the Iraqi Kurds, and his rejection of US demands regarding nuclear exports. It has been translated (without the author’s consent) into a Persian edition.
