Spanning over a period of more than five decades since its
inception, Iran's nuclear programme is the most protracted civilian
nuclear program in the world and one of the most politicized
projects in Iran's history. 'Iran and the Nuclear Question' offers
a historiographical portrait of Iran's early nuclear program under
Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi. Using declassified archival material,
the book thematically chronicles the program's genesis,
evolutionary trajectory, and devolution from the 1950s through to
the 1970s. It also catalogues the Revolutionary Iran's early
socialization into the atom and the Islamic Republic's gradual
change of heart about nuclear energy that culminated in the
incremental resuscitation of the Shah's nuclear enterprise in the
1980s. As the first archive-based account of one of the most
long-lasting and capital-intensive nuclear enterprises during the
Cold War, 'Iran and the Nuclear Question' is a valuable resource
for students and scholars of Iranian, Middle East and Security
Studies. Written in a clear and accessible format, it will also
appeal to those with a more general interest in Iran and its
nuclear journey.
