Editorial Reviews

Review

"A uniquely well-researched, well-documented and argued study on the challenge posed by iran's nuclear project." -- Christoph Bertram, former head of the German Institute for International and Security Affairs

"Chubin's study is the definitive work on the subject and should be required reading for US and European decision-makers." -- Geoffrey Kemp, Director, Regional Strategic Programs, The Nixon Center


Product Description

Iran's Nuclear Ambitions provides a rare look into the motivations, perceptions, and domestic politics swirling around Iran. Shahram Chubin narrates the recent history of Iran's nuclear program and diplomacy, and argues that the central problem is not nuclear technology but rather Iran's behavior as a revolutionary state with ambitions that collide with the interests of its neighbors and the West.

4.0 out of 5 stars Concise analysis of the situation, June 3, 2007
This book is a very concise, short analysis of the book's title - Iran's nuclear ambitions. However, it's main flaw is that Chubin doesn't analyze the historical context, which I believe is essential to understanding Iran's current behavior. Otherwise, the book is an invaluable resource for understanding current events, and specifically, provides some of the best arguments for just why Iran shouldn't acquire nuclear capabilities.

4.0 out of 5 stars A worthwhile read, August 11, 2007
This is an excellent book on Iran's nuclear program. It is brief but gets the point accroos forcefully.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brief but to the point, May 26, 2007
This is not so much a book as a long article. But it reveals more about what Iran thinks about the nuclear issue than any other work I have read recently. It is critical of the Iranian leadership but its assessment of their ambitions and goals is balanced and revealing.

5.0 out of 5 stars A useful book
Plenty of nations have nuclear weapons. Why is it that some people are worried about Iran obtaining them? Read more
