Iran and the Nuclear Question

History and Evolutionary Trajectory

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Spanning over more than five decades since 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. Using declassified archival material, the book thematically chronicles the program's genesis, evolutionary trajectory and devolution from the 1950s to the 1970s. It catalogues 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.
