Hurley with Chinese Communist ldr. Mao Tse Tung and General Chiang Kai-Shek

The history of international diplomacy is full of characters. General Patrick Hurley, FDR's man in Iran, was certainly one of them. In an interesting biographical sketch, which also doubles as a brief history of America's Iran strategy, Abbas Milani explores Hurley and his plans to turn Iran into a democracy.
