A noted scholar of contemporary Iran, Milani looks at the history of the Iran-U.S relationship, honing in on the myth of the U.S. as the "Great Satan." In chapters dealing with the fall of the Shah, the Islamic Revolution, and recent reformist movements, the author shows how, despite the fact that the myth poorly the state of affairs between the two countries, characterizing the U.S. as the "Great Satan" has been a convenient tool used for political purposes by the Islamic Republic. Milani suggests that a more sensible relationship between the U.S. and Iran will be possible only after both countries can create a common and accurate reading of the past.
