<p>A Foreign Policy Magazine Book to Read in 2013 <p> There is a whole slew of highly dubious assumptions and narratives about Iran and the US's relationship to it that are rarely challenged in any meaningful way in standard media circles. The Leveretts and Going to Tehran are vital to thinking critically about these claims.... Both because of their expertise and their long immersion in these issues, they (and their data-filled book) deserve a prominent voice in all serious debates about Iran. <br>--Glenn Greenwald, The Guardian <br> A reasoned, methodical critique of the ideological folklore that prevents Washington from setting up normal diplomatic relations with Tehran. The Leveretts make an ironclad case that President Barack Obama not only can, but must, go to Iran to establish normal diplomatic relations... Going to Tehran is likely the most important book on U.S. foreign policy in 2013. <br>-- The Washington Spectator <p> This book sheds dramatic light on the central foreign policy of the Iranian government. The Leveretts superbly outline the true intentions of Iran and the way they are using international alliances and soft power to get there. <br>-- The Huffington Post <br> The most important work on the subject of U.S.-Iran relations thus far...Thanks to the Leveretts, opponents of U.S. policies of domination and intervention in the Middle East have a new and rich source of analysis to argue against those policies more effectively. <br>--AntiWar.com <br> Going to Tehran arguably represents the most important work on the subject of U.S.-Iran relations to be published thus far.... Thanks to the Leveretts, opponents of U.S. policies of domination and intervention in the Middle East have a new and rich source of analysis to argue against those policies more effectively. <br>--Consortiumnews.com <br> An unorthodox analysis of Iran and a scathing criticism of the US's foreign policy....US policy-makers need to hear criticisms like these
