America and Iran : a history, 1720 to the present

Ghazvinian, John 1974- (author.).

Summary: "In this rich, fascinating history, John Ghazvinian traces the complex story of the relations of these two powers back to the Persian Empire of the eighteenth century--the subject of great admiration of Thomas Jefferson and John Quincy Adams--and an America seen by Iranians as an ideal to emulate for their own government." -- Amazon.com.
