An Israeli take on Iran and terror
Some North Americans are aware that the mess in Iran is a generation in the making, but the popular perception is that Iran really became a problem when American and Israeli ambitions put the Persian nose out of joint. In fact, Israel and the USA once considered Iran a key ally, and the evolution of this relationship is well documented in Ronen Bergman’s The Secret War with Iran, which I review here. Bergman has a doctorate in politics from Oxford, and has been a respected analyst within Israel for years. This is his first book to be published in English, and it’s well worth the read.
