Product Description

Inspired by hate and surrounded by fundamentalist leaders in a country that may soon possess nuclear weapons, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad poses the most serious threat to world peace, even while he shrewdly manipulates public opinion at home. Until now, Americans have known little about him. Since his election in June 2005, Ahmadinejad has accelerated his country's nuclear research; called for the elimination of Israel; and failed the Iranian people, who elected him on a since-neglected domestic platform. In this first book about him, we see the forces that are bringing the world to the brink of another war in the Middle East. Written by an Iranian-born insider and a world-renowned intelligence expert, it offers the first full portrait of this former mayor of Tehran whose rural roots and vituperative populism catapulted him from obscurity to national leadership.

Thought Provoking
Iran's president portrays a frightening future for the middle east, one where nuclear powers are unafraid, and literally MAD. Meir Javedanfar's book provides insight into what is really going on, what we in the West cannot see or understand. His intimate knowledge of Iran, where he grew up, and the in-depth information he conveys to the reader make this book a fascinating read.
I have seen Meir on several tv news channels but this is Meir's first book. I will be following his analysis in the future as he further clarifies what we in the West
