 a go at Iran will denounce this book: you can count on it. Those who have 
 had a bellyful of needless wars will have a different view. Going to Tehran 
 is balanced, sober, impressively documented, and rich in insight. As an 
 antidote to the warmongering that passes for analysis of Iran and 
 US-Iranian relations, its appearance could hardly be more welcome or more 
 timely.” —Andrew Bacevich, author of Washington Rules: America’s Path 
 to Permanent War\n\nThe United States and its allies are ever closer to 
 military confrontation with Iran over nuclear munitions, oil trade, and 
 relations with Israel.  We have sustained 30 years of failed foreign policy 
 based on economic sanctions, isolation and covert assaults within Iran.  In 
 Going To Tehran, renowned Middle East analysts Flynt and Hillary Leverett 
 assert that “Iran has become the most critical country in the world’s 
 most critical region. Without reconciliation with Iran, they insist, “the 
 United States is on the verge of losing its strategic position in the 
 Middle East, with disastrous consequences.”\n\n“This brilliant book 
 eviscerates the American case for continued belligerence toward Iran. The 
 evidence of an Iranian bomb is just not there, the Leveretts write, and 
 American diplomacy should be focused on resolving the conflict, not 
 expanding it. It is time…for an American president to reach for peace and 
 go to Tehran.” —Seymour Hersh, The New Yorker\n\n“One needn’t agree 
 with every word in Going To Tehran to grasp its basic truth: US Iran policy 
 is delusional.” —Lawrence Wilkerson, former chief of staff to Secretary 
 of State Colin Powell\n\nFLYNT LEVERETT served at the National Security 
 Council, State Department, and CIA. He is currently a professor of 
 international affairs and law at Penn State.  HILLARY MANN LEVERETT served 
 at the National Security Council and State Department and negotiated for 
 the U.S. government with Iranian officials. She is now a senior 
 professional lecturer at American University. Their writing has appeared in 
 The New York Times, Politico, Foreign Policy, Harper’s, and Washington 
 Monthly.\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2013/02/28/18732903.php
