Negotiating with Iran: Wrestling the Ghosts of History by John W. Limbert

"A must-read for anyone who hopes for (or fears) an American reengagement with Iran. Superb diplomatic history focused on lessons learned rather than festering grievances. I hope Iranians read this as well as Americans. Limbert is one of our few genuine Iran experts." -Richard W. Bulliet, Columbia University

Former Iranian hostage and scholar John W. Limbert tackles American foreign policy in Iran, with a pragmatic, yet positive assssment of how to engage Iran based on past failures and successes. Limbert clearly demonstrates in concise language the importance of renewing negotiations and dialogue with this long-isolated and powerful Middle Eastern state.
