DESCRIPTION:Dr. Trita Parsi\nPresident of the National Iranian-American Council\nU.S. 
 Foreign Policy Expert\n\nPresents\nTreacherous Alliance: The Secret 
 Dealings of Israel, Iran, and the United States\n\nIn this era of 
 superheated rhetoric and vitriolic exchanges between the leaders of Iran 
 and Israel, the threat of nuclear violence looms. But the real roots of the 
 enmity between the two nations mystify Washington policymakers, and no 
 promising pathways to peace have emerged. Parsi’s book traces the 
 shifting relations among Israel, Iran, and the United States from 1948 to 
 the present, uncovering for the first time the details of secret alliances, 
 treacherous acts, and unsavory political maneuverings that have undermined 
 Middle Eastern stability and disrupted U.S. foreign policy initiatives in 
 the region. \n\nDr. Trita Parsi, a foreign policy expert with more than a 
 decade of experience, is the only writer who has had access to senior 
 American, Iranian, and Israeli decision makers. He dissects the complicated 
 triangular relations of their countries, arguing that America’s hope for 
 stability in Iraq and for peace in Israel is futile without a correct 
 understanding of the Israeli-Iranian rivalry.  \n\nParsi’s 
 behind-the-scenes revelations about Middle East events will surprise even 
 the most knowledgeable readers: Iran’s prime minister asks Israel to 
 assassinate Khomeini, Israel reaches out to Saddam Hussein after the Gulf 
 War, the United States foils Iran’s plan to withdraw support from Hamas 
 and Hezbollah, and more. This book not only revises our understanding of 
 the Middle East’s recent past, it also spells out a course for the 
 future. In today’s belligerent world, few topics, if any, could be more 
 important.\n\nCopies of Treacherous Alliance will be available for purchase 
 and signing.\n\n$7 - $15 suggested donation.  Sponsored by Peninsula Peace 
 and Justice Center. \n
