A Single Roll of the Dice by Trita Parsi
Have the diplomatic efforts of the Obama administration toward Iran failed?
Was the Bush administration's emphasis on military intervention, refusal to
negotiate, and pursuit of regime change a better approach? How can the
United States best address the ongoing turmoil in Tehran? This book provides
a definitive and comprehensive analysis of the Obama administration's early
diplomatic outreach to Iran and discusses the best way to move toward more
positive relations between the two discordant states.Trita Parsi, a Middle
East foreign policy expert with extensive Capitol Hill and United Nations
experience, interviewed 70 high-ranking officials from the U.S., Iran,
Europe, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Brazil--including the top American
and Iranian negotiators--for this book. Parsi uncovers the previously
unknown story of American and Iranian negotiations during Obama's early
years as president, the calculations behind the two nations' dealings, and
the real reasons for their current stalemate. Contrary to prevailing
opinion, Parsi contends that diplomacy has not been fully tried. For various
reasons, Obama's diplomacy ended up being a single roll of the dice. It had
to work either immediately--or not at all. Persistence and perseverance are
keys to any negotiation. Neither Iran nor the U.S. had them in 2009.
