At a moment of coordinated American and Israeli war on Iran, this novel account of an earlier period of comity unearths the mutually reinforcing interests of Iran and Israel when the United States was cultivating close alliances with each regional power. In tracing the evolution of bilateral ties within the administration of Lyndon Johnson, Mørk's illuminating research recasts US-Middle East relations in the 1960s, recovering a history of close coordination between Tehran and Jerusalem.

Hulda Kjeang Mørk's Between Doctrines is prodigiously researched, utterly in command of a sprawling array of relevant scholarship, and marvelously objective. An essential work on US Middle East policy during the 1960s, it brings Israel, Iran, and the USA together in a more holistic, complex, and subtle view of these countries' relations than we have had before. Mørk is unafraid to go where evidence and logic take her, and she describes her analysis with rare lucidity and precision.
