They also describe Iran's missile capabilities and its evolving nuclear program. This is one of the most comprehensive books on mainstream American perspectives on Iran's military challenges to Persian Gulf stability, but it should be balanced by reading original Iranian sources that deal with existing and very real threats to the country's national security and territorial integrity. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduate, graduate, and research collections." --Choice
