Nuclear Iran: The Birth of an Atomic State
«... a welcome analysis of Iran's self-perception, its nuclear plans and Western responses.»
The Independent
The Iranian nuclear crisis has dominated current affairs and geopolitics for over a decade. Yet there is little real understanding of Iran's nuclear programme, in particular its history, which is now over fifty years old. Les mer
The author's unique access to 'the father' of Iran's nuclear programme, as well as to key scientific personnel under the early Islamic Republic and to senior Iranian and Western officials at the centre of today's negotiations, sheds new light on the uranium enrichment programme that lies at the heart of global concerns. What emerges is a programme that has, for a variety of reasons, a deep resonance to Iran. This is why it has persisted with it for over half a century in the face of such widespread opposition. Drawing on years of research across the world, David Patrikarakos has produced the most comprehensive examination of Iran's nuclear programme - in all its forms to date. This new edition features interviews with the main actors who saw through President Obama's Iran nuclear deal, and give the inside story in how progress stalled under the Trump administration.

«David Patrikarakos has produced an excellent account of the country's progress towards nuclear status, in which he acknowledges that neither diplomacy nor sanctions are likely to work.»
Max Hastings, The Sunday Times
«What has been sorely missing from the debate about Iran's nuclear program is a serious, reported effort to understand what goes on in the minds of the Iranians. David Patrikarakos fills that void.»
Bill Keller, The New York Times
