About This Item

New York, NY, U.S.A.: Pantheon Books, 1989. First American Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. NEST OF SPIES charts the route that, over some four decades, has taken the United States to Irangate (the debacle of American foreign policy in which President Reagan's aides attempted to trade American arms for American hostages held in Lebanon) and beyond. In this clear and well-documented book, Iranian journalist Amir Taheri shows why Roosevelt and Truman failed to turn Iran into a model democracy, how the seeds of the Islamic revolution were, unwittingly, sown by the Shah's policies (largely with Washington's support), and how the Irangate episode and its consequences fit in the pattern of U.S.--Middle East relations. NEST OF SPIES treats many aspects of Irangate not revealed in American investigations and provides the first full account of many other U.S. covert operations in Iran between 1979 and 1987. Taheri has also analyzed the mass of documents seized at the U.S. embassy in Teheran and conducted more than 150 interviews with political and business officials from both countries. The result is a book that is more complete, coherent, and evenhanded than any yet published on this complex and emotional subject. Fine, first edition, first printing, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. [Not remainder-marked or price-clipped] NFBS1

About Joe Staats, Bookseller

Modern Literature, Mysteries, and More!
We specialize in collectible, contemporary signed first editions. First edition means the first printing. (Later printings of the first edition are typically not printed on acid-free paper, and should be avoided by collectors.) Signatures are obtained by us in person. Inscribed books sold by us may contain a line, a phrase, or a sketch that the author has chosen to add. Our signed books are not dedicated to anybody in particular (not to your grandmother, your Aunt Gladys, your ex-lover or your former cellmate), except in the rare case of a presentation copy from an author to a noteworthy person. All our books are hardcover, unless the book is an Advance Reading Copy, Uncorrected Proof, or PBO. You can expect that the books we send you will be as described, and in a physical condition worthy of the author’s having signed them. We do not sell remainder-marked books, signed or otherwise
