Summary
How close are we to a nuclear Iran? What does it mean for American foreign policy? How did we get to this point? And what do we do now?
In Unthinkable, Kenneth Pollack, a former CIA analyst with twenty-five years of experience working on the Middle East, explores AmericaâÈçs intractable problem with Iran, TehranâÈçs pursuit of a nuclear weapons capability, and the prolonged clash that led us to this point. Pollack lays out key solutions to the Iran nuclear question, explaining and assessing the options for American policymakers:
âÈò Redoubling our efforts at a carrot-and-stick approach that combines negotiations and sanctions
âÈò Aiding the Iranian opposition to bring about a popular form of regime change
âÈò An Israeli military strike
âÈò The American military option
âÈò Containing a nuclear Iran
Insightful, powerful, and balanced in its approach, Unthinkable is one of the most thoughtful and important books on foreign policy in the past decade.
