With the reconstruction of Iraq under way and the distraction of the U.S. presidential election behind us, focus will once again turn to a gathering threat—The Islamic Republic of Iran. A charter member of the “axis of evil,” this rogue terrorist state and the mullahs who govern it are on a collision course with American and European governments that seek to end its development of nuclear weapons. The influence of Iran cannot be discounted, however, because it has perfected the art of oil price manipulation in order to fund its nuclear endeavors, terrorist activities, and strategic contributions to key U.S. politicians who, in turn, work diligently at normalizing diplomatic and trade relations between the two nations.
In Atomic Iran, Jerome Corsi, co-author of the best-selling Unfit for Command, uncovers the true intentions and practices of the Iranian regime and gives light to the aid and comfort being supplied by some key U.S. politicians. Uncovered is a web of pro-Iranian financiers who make significant campaign contributions to political leaders who affect U.S. trade policy towards Iran and are able to work at normalizing diplomatic relations, thereby legitimizing the rogue republic. This poses an immediate security threat to the United States. It allows the regime to take advantage of relaxations in the Patriot Act to begin importing terrorists under the disguise of diplomatic personnel.
Also revealed is the manipulation of world oil prices by Iran. Its restriction of supply has the dual effect of hindering the growth of world economies and increasing revenue for Iran, which is then used to fund international terrorism and its own deadly pursuits. Dr. Corsi warns that a nuclear Iran would devastate the Middle East through its tyrannical policies and threats and would have a significant impact on the world by using its control of 40 percent of the global oil supply to hold nations hostage with oil prices rising to over $100 and even $200 per barrel.
Atomic Iran is a wake-up call to Americans. It is a call to pay attention to the growing crisis with Iran and to hold U.S. politicians accountable for their relationships with and efforts on behalf of the Iranian regime. By understanding the events that led to Iran’s arrival at the verge of nuclear statehood, the intentions of the mullahs, their connection with American politicians, and the severe repercussions to be suffered from allowing the regime to proceed with its plans, readers of Atomic Iran will be equipped to take the debate to their local communities and to the officials they have entrusted with their safety and security.
JEROME R. CORSI, PH.D., co-author of the New York Times #1 bestseller, Unfit for Command, received his Ph.D. from Harvard University and is an expert on America’s antiwar movement and political violence. He is the author of many articles and books and lives in New Jersey.

March 04, 2007: Politically oriented - very little meat concerning facts about Iran and their quest for nuclear technology. Probably great if you are stuck on American politics and don't know or care about what's really going on in the middle east. Book sucks if you have a clue and hoped for more. Author seems to be stuck on Kerry, which is old news.

May 14, 2005: I appreciate Mr Corsi writing this book. Pages 171-178 gives an example of what an nuclear bomb (the size of a suitcase) could do in taking out everything in 100 miles of New York City. He lists the 50 greatest accomplishments of Iranian mullahs in 25 years on pages 212-214. Some listed are: #1. execution, flogging, stoning, and amputation of limbs in public...#11. improvement and growth of Iran's cemetries...#13. violation of women's rights...and #37. producing a nuclear technology whose goal is to make atomic bombs. They actually brag about wanting to make an atomic bomb. How do you negiotate with people like this? If what Mr. Corsi writes is true, then we should do something now and not wait. The Titanic was warned about icebergs in the vicinity but stayed on course. A set of binoculars could have saved everyone on the ship but someone did not think it was important.
