About the Book :
The first detailed Iranian account of the diplomatic
struggle between Iran and the international community, The Iranian Nuclear
Crisis: A Memoir begins in 2002, when news about Iran’s clandestine uranium
enrichment and plutonium production facilities emerged, and takes the reader
into Tehran’s deliberations as its leaders wrestle with internal and external
adversaries.
Seyed Hossein Mousavian, previously the head of the Foreign Relations Committee
of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council and spokesman for Tehran’s nuclear
negotiating team, provides readers with intimate knowledge of Iran’s
interactions with the International Atomic Energy Agency and global powers.
Mousavian’s personal story comes alive as he vividly recounts his arrest in
2007 on charges of espionage. is and other dramatic episodes of diplomatic
missions tell much about the author and the swirling dynamics of Iranian
politics and diplomacy—undercurrents that must be understood now more than
ever. As intense debate continues over the direction of Iran’s nuclear program,
Mousavian weighs the likely efects of military strikes, covert action,
sanctions, and diplomatic engagement, along with their potential to resolve the
nuclear crisis.
