For the past three decades, the United States and Iran have been engaged in an unacknowledged secret war.
David Crist is currently a historian for the federal government. As a colonel in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, he served in the first gulf war and made two tours with elite special operations forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. He lives in Maryland.
"[A] painstakingly researched and elegantly written account of the
United States-Iran cold war is an earnest chronicle of this shadowy
history...Mr. Crist's book deserves a spot on the short list of
must-read books on United States-Iran relations." -The New York
Times
"Crist has written an important and timely book that should be
required reading for anyone interested in understanding how the
United States and Iran went from close allies to enduring enemies."
-The Washington Post
"A fascinating, detailed history of American-Iranian foreign
relations...Crist is a natural-born writer, and the best parts
of The Twilight War are not just engaging, but
thrilling." -NPR
"This is the foreign policy book of the year, perhaps of many
years." -Thomas E. Ricks, author of Fiasco and The
Generals
