With its in-depth analysis and wealth of information, ""Iran: A Country Study"" is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand this complex and fascinating nation.Iran's future course in the late 1980s hinged upon a number of factors. These included the smoothness with which it would be able to make the transition to Ayatollah Khomeini's successor; the duration, cost, and settlement terms of the war with Iraq; the direction of Iran's foreign policy, in relation both to the superpowers and to the remainder of the world, particularly the countries of the region; and the skill of Iranian technocrats in taking the necessary steps to address the country's economic difficulties.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
