The Twilight War: The Secret History of America's Thirty-Year Conflict with Iran By David Crist For the past three decades, the United States and Iran have been engaged in an unacknowledged secret war. This conflict has frustrated five American presidents, divided administrations, and repeatedly threatened to bring the two nations to the brink of open warfare.
