By gaining exclusive access to dozens of Iranian defectors and officials, previously classified documents, and high-level sources in the U.S. government and intelligence community, Ken Timmerman reveals that the Iranian nuclear program is far more advanced than we’ve feared. COUNTDOWN TO CRISIS: The Coming Nuclear Showdown with Iran uncovers the Iranian Islamist regime’s extensive—and current—support for Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda.
