This timely book focuses on President Obama’s deeply considered strategy toward Iran’s nuclear program and reveals how the historic agreement of 2015 broke the persistent stalemate in negotiations that had obstructed earlier efforts.

The deal accomplished two major feats in one stroke: it averted the risk of war with Iran and prevented the possibility of an Iranian nuclear bomb. Trita Parsi, a Middle East foreign policy professional who suggested the Obama White colored House through the entire talks and got usage of decision-makers and diplomats for the U.S. and Iranian edges as well, examines every element of a triumph that could become as important and consequential as Nixon’s rapprochement with China.

Drawing from more than seventy-five in-depth interviews with key decision-makers, including Iran’s Foreign Minister Javad Zarif and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, this is the first authoritative accounts of President Obama’s signature international policy achievement.
