About this title

About the Author:

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 Connecticut.

From Booklist:

Corsi came into prominence as the coauthor (with John O'Neill) of Unfit for Command (2004), a best-selling criticism of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry. Now Corsi launches a salvo at the nuclear-energy program of Iran, sniping for good measure at American Democratic politicians and European diplomats who advocate negotiations. To Corsi, negotiations are Iran's bad-faith distraction from its determination to manufacture an atomic bomb. Indeed, this diplomatic crisis frequently intensifies with forthright declarations by Iranian officials of their right to enrich uranium. Therefore, the geopolitical restraint one believes a nuclear-armed theocracy will exercise influences one's posture toward it, and Corsi accords no moderation to the clerics of the Islamic Republic, quoting their blood-curdling threats against Israel and the U.S. For apocalyptic attention, he devises atomic-attack scenarios on Manhattan and Tel Aviv, speculating further about preemptive attacks on Iran (though Corsi does not outright propose preemption). As is customary with partisan political books, Corsi's discursive pastiche of fact, imagination, and polemics will experience sharp but ephemeral popularity. Gilbert Taylor
