Help, please. I know I'm looking for nonfiction on the Fiction_L list, but
I'm hoping someone might have a clue what my patron is looking for. She saw
someone speaking on TV this past week about a book he had written about the US and
Iran, something about the US wanting to start a war in Iran for economic
reasons. She's a little vague on the details, but she wants to read the book. She
thinks the author's last name starts with a K. She's also pretty sure it
wasn't Book Span she was watching. Does anyone have any idea what this might be?

Thanks,

Nancy

Nancy, Could she have seen Paul O'Neill on 60 minutes???

If so, the book could be

The Price of Loyalty: George W. Bush, the White House, and the
Education of Paul O'Neill
by Ron Suskind
0743255453
Due out tomorrow from Simon & Schuster

Hope that helps,

Sarah

It could be The New Great Game by Lutz Kleveman, which came out in
September, with interviews in November and December.

I was thinking it might also be An End to Evil: How to Win the War on
Terror by Richard Perle and David Frum - they've been making the talk
rounds and their Project for a New American Century does call for US
domination of the region.

For Nancy Young seeking the non-fiction title -- Could it be
American Dynasty: Aristocracy, Fortune and the Politics of Deceit
in the House of Bush by Kevin Phillips (2004)?

Thanks to everyone who replied to this request. However - we do not yet have
the right title. I ran all the suggestions past the patron, and she came up
with some more information about the book. She heard the author speaking on
television sometime in the last month or so, and she thinks his name starts with a
K. The new info is as follows:

The premise of the book is that Iran was doing just fine as a democracy until
the US put the Shah into power. It talks about Truman and Eisenhower, and how
between the US and Great Britain they fomented a revolution that overthrew
the democracy and installed the Shah. With those details, does this ring a bell
with anyone?

Thanks for your help,

I think it was mentioned before, but are you positive it's not "All the
Shah's men: an American coup and the roots of Middle East Terror" by Stephen
Kinzer. It includes Eisenhower and Churchill's plans to to install the Shah
and Kinzer was on "Good Mornign America" not too long ago as I recall.
Sorry if this is all repetitive info but I thought it might help.

Yes, yes, that's it! It hadn't been mentioned before (or at least I didn't
see it). All the clues fit. I'll tell the patron as soon as I get to work. Thank
you so much.
