Dana H. Allin is Senior Fellow for US Foreign Policy and
Transatlantic Affairs at the International Institute for Strategic
Studies (IISS) in London and the editor of Survival, a leading
security studies journal.
Steven Simon is Adjunct Senior Fellow for Middle Eastern Studies at
the Council on Foreign Relations and co-author of both The Age of
Sacred Terror and The Next Attack.
"Allin and Simon provide a masterful account of the defining
security challenge of the decade. The authors bring the right stuff
to the task. Simon is an experienced Middle East hand who has
witnessed presidential decision making up close and Allin is a
demonstrated expert on international security. They are without
illusions. Their book disposes of the myths on all sides to reveal
the hard dilemmas facing Washington and Jerusalem."--Richard A.
Clarke, author
of Against All Enemies
"The best one-volume analysis of the Iran nuclear crisis in
print."--Peter Beinart, author of The Icarus Syndrome
"This is a sober, sobering, trenchant and important volume about
the potential for military conflict among Israel, Iran and the
United States, and the factors that will determine whether such a
conflict takes place. The authors write clearly and think deeply;
they offer warnings that anyone interested in the fate of the Obama
Administration or the Middle East should heed."--Steve Coll, author
of Ghost Wars and The Bin Ladens
"This book is mandatory reading for U.S. policy makers. Few threats
endanger American and international security more than Iran's reach
for a nuclear capability and its support for extremism in the
Middle East. These two deeply knowledgeable and objective authors
transcend the polarized public debate, explaining why a war with
Iran is a very real possibility, but also an avoidable
one."--Samuel Berger, United States National Security Advisor,
1997-2001
"Not only is the book the best description available of "the sixth
crisis" that Washington has faced in the Middle East since World
War II; it also suggests a U.S. policy: given the likely failure to
reach a negotiated settlement, a regional variant of the Cold War
containment policy might be the best default position."--Foreign
Affairs
