Recenzje

'In his fascinating, meticulously-researched book, Gregory Brew demonstrates how US development efforts during the Cold War shaped Iran's political and economic history, challenging grand narratives about US Cold War liberalism. This will be required reading for scholars of US foreign relations, Iranian history, petro-development and critical development studies.' Karine V. Walther, Georgetown University in Qatar
