Iran in crisis? : nuclear ambitions and the American response

"The recent led US-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have brought new opportunities and dangers that could conceivably either herald a new rapprochement between Tehran and Washington or else bring a sharp detorioration that might perhaps spill over into confrontation. At home, profound demographic changes would seem to make far-reaching political changes appear inevitable in a country whose young population is alientated from the clerical elite that pulls the strings of power." "This book looks at some of the causes of these domestic international tensions and considers some of the possible outcomes."--Jacket
