Iran's Resurgent Resistance: Bipartisan U.S. Delegation Visits with MEK Opposition at Ashraf 3 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781734229202)

In Iran's Resurgent Resistance, Professor Ivan Sascha Sheehan, a counterterrorism scholar and leading authority on U.S. policy toward Iran, reflects on a journey made by a bipartisan delegation of senior U.S. officials deep into Iran's resistance community and outlines how U.S. officials routinely fail to understand the Iranian regime's nature, temperament, disposition, and designs. Sheehan reveals how Iran's principal opposition to clerical rule has been falsely portrayed in Washington and makes the case that Iran's dissident community is best positioned to bring about democratic change. The author challenges the false narratives peddled by Tehran's illiberal apologists, examines the opposition's call for a democratic future, and makes a convincing case for a more effective U.S. policy toward Iran.

Praised by senior leaders in the U.S. Intelligence Community, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, and the Department of State, this timely book features a Preface by Senator Joseph Lieberman (former Democratic Nominee for Vice President); a Foreword by Senator Robert G. Torricelli (D-New Jersey) and Ambassador Robert G.
