Roy Casagranda gives us an overview of US foreign policy in the Middle East from 1953 to 2003.. We start off by talking about the 1953 Iranian coup d’état and then move into the Iranian Revolution. We go into the rise of Saddam Hussien and the Iran–Iraq War. After that, we start talking about the events that led into the Desert Storm and finish off the conversation talking about the Iraq War.

Roy Casagranda is a political scientist, professor of government and resident Middle East expert at Austin Community College (ACC). His research lies with the intersection of politics, history, economics, psychology, and philosophy. He has been doing local new interviews since 2008 on conflicts in the Persian Gulf. 

Roy is the faculty advisor for the Austin School, a student club that hosts lecture series. ( Highly Recommended)
