Iran and the United States are on a collision course. David Barsamian presents the perspectives of four experts on Iran who discuss the 1953 CIA coup and the rise of the Islamic regime, Iran's internal dynamics and competing forces, relations with Iraq and Afghanistan, and the consequences of US policy. Ervand Abrahamian authored Iran Between Two Revolutions. Noam Chomsky's most recent book is Failed States. Nahid Mozaffari edited the The PEN Anthology of Contemporary Iranian Literature. David Barsamian's books include Imperial Ambitions with Noam Chomsky and Original Zinn with Howard Zinn.

Galley mailing to national book reviews and progressive media outlets. Will position Barsamian as expert on Iran to more mainstream venues. We'll organize a panel event with the contributors of this book at either NYU or CUNY.
