Summary:This is the deeply reported, riveting account of a war waged on many levels...military, financial, covert...that most don't realize America has been engaged in for years. For over a decade, against the backdrop of the Middle East, Central Asia and the Far East, the United States and Iran have been engaged in a conflict as significant as it is hidden from view.
