      title = {American and British soft power in Iran, 1953-1960 : a  'special relationship'? /},
      abstract = {This book offers a distinctive approach to understanding  Anglo-American relations with Iran in the early Cold War.  It establishes how the United Kingdom and United States  used soft power between 1953 and 1960 to combat communism  and promote their respective ways of life in Iran. It  identifies their motives, the types of initiatives  employed, and the extent to which they perceived their  policies to be a success. It is a historical case study  through which wider conclusions regarding UK and US foreign  policy can be drawn. As well as illustrating the  competitive tensions within the Anglo-American 'special  relationship', it highlights the role of individuals in the  making and shaping of diplomatic endeavours. More broadly,  the analysis of UK and US interactions in Iran through the  prism of soft power underlines that there was more to both  countries Cold War foreign policies than the containment of  communism.
