Publisher Comments:

From the controversial expert who brought Iran’s nuclear program to the attention of the world in 2002 comes a searing exposé of the inner workings and plans of Iran’s mullahs. With access to dissident groups inside Iran, Alireza Jafarzadeh traces President Ahmadinejad’s radical roots and involvement in terror attacks to his impact on Iran’s weapons program. He reveals new details on Iran’s meddling in Iraq and its broader goals for the future of the Middle East. This is the most authoritative account to date of the looming threat Iran poses to the United States and the Gulf region.

*President Ahmadinejad’s radical past as a feared torturer of political prisoners and his zealous mission to deliver the regime its first nuclear bomb
*The chilling trend of the military’s increasing control of the nuclear program
*How Ahmadinejad was handpicked by Iran's mullahs to help create an Islamic Republic in Iraq
*The latest covert actions to bury nuclear facilities in tunnels
*The story of the front companies Iran used to buy its nuclear technology undetected
*The author’s original and insightful policy options to end the Iranian threat
