Description of the Book:

In the tumult of early 1979, President Carter decided to send a senior military figure, Gen. Robert Huyser, to Iran to engage chiefly with the military and help determine both their mood and the best course of action for the United States. He remained in Iran from early January to early February, a period that encompassed the Shah’s departure and Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s arrival from years of exile. Huyser, who was deputy commander of the Supreme Allied Command, was chosen in part because he had developed a relationship with Iranian military leaders – and to some extent with the Shah – over the course of several recent visits to the His mission became a topic of deep suspicion within and outside of Iran, with many Shah supporters suspecting the Carter administration of seeking to undermine the monarch while others believed his role was to foment a coup, along the lines of the 1953 overthrow of Mohammad Mosaddeq.

This memo from Brzezinski to the president, which attaches a reporting cable from Huyser, shows that multiple options were being considered, each depending on a highly fluid and confusing situation. The Archive’s new collection contains every available record of Huyser’s numerous conversations with senior Pentagon officials during his mission, along with related materials that show how utterly baffling the political scene was to outside observers.
