Nuclear Iran: The Birth of an Atomic State
David PatrikarakosThis groundbreaking book, unprecedented in its scope, argues that the history of Iran's nuclear program & the modern history of the country itself are irretrievably linked; only by understanding one can we understand the other. From the program's beginnings under the Shah of Iran, the book details the US's central role in the birth of nuclear Iran and, through the relationship between the program's founder & the Shah of Iran himself, the role that weapons have played in the program since the beginning.
David Patrikarakos's unique access to "the father" of Iran's nuclear program, as well as to key scientific personnel under the early Islamic Republic & to senior Iranian & Western officials at the center of today's negotiations, sheds new light on the uranium enrichment program that lies at the heart of global concerns.
