This work reconstructs and explains the arms relationship that successive U.S. administrations developed with the Shah of Iran from 1950. This relationship has generally been neglected in the extant literature leading to a series of omissions and distortions in the historical record. By detailing how and why Iran transitioned from a primitive military aid recipient in the 1950s to America’s primary military credit customer in the late 1960s and 1970s, this book provides a detailed and original contribution to the understanding of a key Cold War episode in U.S. foreign policy. By drawing on extensive declassified documents from more than 10 archives, the investigation demonstrates not only the importance of the arms relationship but also how it reflected, and contributed to, the wider evolution of U.S.-Iranian relations from a position of Iranian client state dependency to a situation where the U.S. became heavily leveraged to the Shah for protection of the Gulf and beyond – until the policy met its disastrous end. This work only study that deals directly and comprehensively with the entirety of US-Iran arms relations during the reign of the Shah. The research posits that a failure to analyse arms issues in any detail has hindered any true understandingof U.S.-Iran relations prior to 1979, and has therefore omitted a key factor in the Cold War geopolitics of the Middle East. Adding this layer of analysis is not just historical, it provides insight into the major U.S. Cold War policy shifts that followed the Iranian Revolution - such as the Carter Doctrine and Reagan’s decision to go on the offensive against the Soviet Union. Put simply, those policies bore a direct relation to the failure of outsourcing containment in the Middle East via arms sales andsecurity relationships with allies such as the Shah. In that sense, arming Iran was the grand test of the Nixon doctrine. And, it became its grand failure. When Iran descended into revolution in late 1978 and its …|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/fe887570/us-arms-policies-towards-the-shahs-iran-stephen-mcglinchey-9780415739214.jpg|9780415739214|US Arms Policies Towards the Shah’s Iran : Hardback : Routledge : 9780415739214 : 03 Jun 2014 : This work reconstructs and explains the arms relationship that successive U.S. administrations developed with the Shah of Iran from 1950.|new|1|1|999|140|0|GBP|Stephen McGlinchey|Taylor & Francis Ltd|03 Jun 2014|International relations 9780415741798|Case Formulation in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy|34.99|https://wordery.com/case-formulation-in-cognitive-behaviour-therapy-nicholas-tarrier-9780415741798|Since the successful first edition of Case Formulation in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, there has been a proliferation of psychological research supporting the effectiveness of CBT for a range of disorders.

It explores the ways in which new polities were established in freshly discovered ?New Worlds’, and covers the history of many countries, including Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Japan, South Africa, Liberia, Algeria, Canada, and the USA. Chronologically as well as geographically wide-reaching, this volume focuses on an extensive array of topics and regions ranging from settler colonialism in the Neo-Assyrian and Roman empires, to relationships between indigenes and newcomers in New Spain and the early Mexican republic, to the settler-dominated polities of Africa during the twentieth century. Its twenty-nine inter-disciplinary chapters focus on single colonies or on regional developments that straddle the borders of present-day states, on successful settlements that would go on to become powerful settler nations, on failed settler colonies, and on the historiographies of these experiences. Taking a fundamentally international approach to the topic, this book analyses the varied experiences of settler colonialism in countries around the world. With a synthesizing yet original introduction, this is a landmark contribution to the emerging field of settler colonial studies and will be a valuable resource for anyone interested in the global history of imperialism and colonialism.|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/6572d419/the-routledge-handbook-of-the-history-of-settler-colonialism-edward-cavanagh-9780415742160.jpg|9780415742160|The Routledge Handbook of the History of Settler Colonialism : Hardback : Routledge : 9780415742160 : 22 Aug 2016 : This book examines the global history of settler colonialism as a distinct mode of domination from ancient times to the present day, fo …|new|1|1|999|220|0|GBP|Edward Cavanagh|Taylor & Francis Ltd|22 Aug 2016|Colonialism & imperialism 9780415742146|Sports Journalism|37.99|https://wordery.com/sports-journalism-rob-steen-9780415742146|Sports Journalism is a comprehensive guide to the purpose, principles and practice of this unique profession.

This vital requirement has been recognised in the growth of risk management. However, risks can never be fully prevented, which means that public managers also have to be crisis managers. Today’s crises develop in unseen ways; they escalate rapidly and transform through the interdependencies of modern society, and their frequency is growing: the global financial crisis, the European volcanic ash cloud, the Japanese tsunami and subsequent Fukushima nuclear plant meltdown, the Christchurch earthquake and the Queensland floods. All highlight the extreme challenges that public sector organizations across the world have had to face in recent years. Risk and Crisis Management in the Public Sector Second Edition responds to these challenges by presenting the only guide for public managers and public management students which combines lessons about risk and crisis management together in a single, accessible text. It equips readers and public managers with the knowledge and skills to understand key issues and debates, as well as the capacity to treat risks and better prepare for, respond to and recover from crisis episodes. This exciting new edition enhances the original text with contemporary cases and a greater focus on the international, trans-boundary and multi-agency dimensions of risk and crisis management. These enhancements reflect the fact that today’s public manager must increasingly operate within a global and interdependent governance context.|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/b62ec250/risk-and-crisis-management-in-the-public-sector-lynn-t-drennan-9780415739696.jpg|9780415739696|Risk and Crisis Management in the Public Sector : Paperback : Routledge : 9780415739696 : 22 Dec 2014 : This exciting new edition enhances the original text with contemporary cases, state-of-the-art themes and a greater focus on the international, tra …|new|1|1|1|59.99|0|GBP|Lynn T Drennan|Taylor & Francis Ltd|22 Dec 2014|Business strategy 9780415742177|A Short Literary History of the United States|18.99|https://wordery.com/a-short-literary-history-of-the-united-states-mario-klarer-9780415742177|A Short Literary History of the United States offers an introduction to American Literature for students wanting to acquaint themselves with the most important periods, authors and works of American literary history.
