Synopsis

Across the Western alliance, liberal politicians and pundits are calling for renewed diplomatic engagement with Iran, convinced that Tehran will respond to reason and halt its nuclear weapons program. Yet, according to bestselling author and former U.N. ambassador Dore Gold, countries have repeatedly tried diplomatic talks and utterly failed. In The Rise of Nuclear Iran, Gold traces these past failures and explains why diplomacy will continue to backfire, no matter who is president or which party is in power.
