Product Description
With the reconstruction in 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.

 Atomic Iran July 28, 2008

Readers of this book will gain great insight into the grave danger facing the USA in dealing with an atomic Iran and its despotic , defiant mullahs with their twisted version of Islamic religion and law. Dr. Corsi shows them marching zealously and relentlessly to fulfill their stated goals of "wiping Israel off the map" and crippling " America,the Great Satan".
The ultimate goal is to force the entire world to conform to their Islamic theocracy. Read the pros and cons for allowing Iran to develop
nuclear power. Then decide if you want appeasement or force.This book may scare you; but you should be scared.
 Scary but a definite must read! April 11, 2008

This was a "hard " book to read because the author is very straight forward with all the information that he has.I guess some people will find the book a little hard to believe, but the thing is that sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.I really liked the strong no-holds-barred approach of the author.He points fingers at people responsible for the security of this nation and presents the facts in a logical manner.What a lot of people dont know is that a lot muslims feel that their religion allows them to lie whenever they feel the should.That's one of the things about a lot of muslims, especially iranians:they lie when they negotiate but as soon as you turn your back they go straight to whatever they were doing.So i have to agree with the author when he says that we cant trust them.I also enjoyed his description of the other arab nations such as Saudi Arabia and Iraq and their relationship with Iran.Great book to bring you up to speed in what's going on in the Middle East.
 I would question the motives of this author October 17, 2007

I have not read this book, but I do have to make a statement about the integrity of Mr. Corsi. He helped torpedo John Kerry when he co-wrote
"Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry", which helped in getting Bush re-elected!!
Shame on him.
I have heard Mr. Corsi deride, on Coast to Coast AM, this administration now, after the fact-duh, but I am still waiting for an apology!
He helped this madman get elected and he is responsible for all that has followed. I would question his integrity and wonder what his motives are for writing anything!
An urgent read April 23, 2007

Reviewed by Richard R. Blake for Reader Views (3/07)
Jerome R. Corsi has written "Atomic Iran" in an effort to give the American people a wake-up call to the crisis facing our country. He presents a strong case, advocating that the Iranian mullahs are supporting terror internationally. And that these same mullahs are already at war against both Israel and America. Israel is in danger of nuclear retaliation from the Shiite Muslim's of Iran, under the presidency of Mahmouid Ahmadiejad.
Corsi further warns that Americans have been lulled into a false security, influenced by the mainstream media. Behind the scenes the Iranian mullahs are influencing our politicians. Iran, a nation with a terrorist mindset, a nation rich in uranium resources, is on a collision course with America and the governments of Europe who are seeking to end the development of nuclear weapons.
Differences among congressional leaders on diplomatic and economic issues make it difficult to take an unbiased and objective stance while reading Corsi's work, however, since the book was first published in 2005 in the hardcover edition, many of his predictions have taken place and even the most skeptical are taking another look at the message of "Atomic Iran."
This is a book, urgent in its' disturbing message, well-documented, and timely. "Atomic Iran" should be read by every voting American. Corsi has presented a clarion call to the American people to become informed and to wake up to their responsibility as a citizen.
Great reporting and analysis of the Iranian problems we face September 4, 2006

Iran is in the news nowadays for very important reasons. It is ruled by a regime that is bent on creating its own atomic weapons and has the expressed intention of doing harm to us and our allies. Additionally, it is supporting the Shiite side of the struggles within Iraq and actively undermining our efforts there and the Iraqi attempts at self-rule and democracy. Iran is also supporting Syria and through them Hezbollah and their attacks on Israel and the West.
The book is divided into three parts. The first presents five chapters on the way the Iranians are trying to influence our political process. Both sides of the aisle are compromised by these efforts, but in different ways. The huge amount of money that Iran and other Muslim nations make from oil gives them great power and they use that to influence those who would like to share in that wealth. Jerome Corsi lays out the facts and you can decide for yourself how disturbing you find this information. I found it not only revolting, but a cause for serious concern.
The second part presents five chapters on the terrorist activities sponsored by Iran and what their future strategies might be. It is clearly exporting terror to undermine the West since Khomeni took over in 1978. We simply have to listen to what they say and take the direct meaning of their fundamental goals seriously. The filigree about peaceful purposes for the nuclear efforts are clearly said to create diplomatic space for them to continue their work on their fundamental goal of being a nuclear power that threatens Israel and the West. Their ability to extort the West with oil will also increase once they demonstrate a nuclear weapon. What then?
The third part consists of two chapters on two approaches towards dealing with Iran. The first chapter deals with the variety of military threats and options we could use. It turns out that none of them are much good and the Iranians know that. They are not good for a variety of reason that have to do with geography, our weak allies in Europe, our quasi friends / enemies in Russia and China, and the willingness of the radical Muslim mind to take hurt in order to achieve their larger aims. Iranian leaders have stated that one nuclear bomb in Tel Aviv could destroy Israel, but a nuclear attack on Islam cannot destroy it.
The second chapter lays out the argument that we should increase our efforts and spend treasure on undermining the regime in Iran and encourage that significant but repressed portion of the Iranian population that wants to be a moderate nation that is free of the mullah tyranny.
The conclusion of the book draws all the points of the book together and the epilogue deals with events in Iran and the rise of Ahmadinejad in the "run-off" election against the more moderate Rafsanjani. These events occurred since the hardcover was published in 2005.
Good reporting and interesting analysis. Corsi doesn't provide simplistic solutions nor is a raving or partisan attack as some (who probably haven't read the book) claim. Read it and decide for yourself.
