Description
Summary:Iran remains among the most poorly understood countries in the world and, for most Americans, terra incognita. A small community of American analysts in the government, academia, and the country's think tanks is, of course, working on Iran, but the overwhelming majority of them have never been to Iran or have visited only briefly.

This monograph, the result of a workshop and the authors' own experience and analysis, is a concise, accessible handbook
