Book Presentation: Countdown to Crisis by Kenneth R. Timmerman

Book Abstract

In Countdown to Crisis, Timmerman exposes what he believes to be the greatest threat America faces: a nuclear-armed Iran that is closely allied with international terrorists.

Tapping into previously classified documents, former U.S. Intelligence officials, Iranian defectors and family members of top Iranian government leaders, Timmerman reveals that the Iranian nuclear program is far more advanced than America had feared. He also exposes the Islamic Republic of Iran’s secret alliance with Osama bin Laden and their plans for future attacks on America. And finally, Timmerman uncovers the truth about the devastating intelligence failures and cover-ups that have kept the U.S. from dealing with this threat.

Summary of Countdown to Crisis (Kenneth R. Timmerman)

Introduction

The Islamic Republic of Iran is the gravest threat America faces. Iran’s extremist clerics are absolutely bent on attacking American interests and driving the United States from the Persian Gulf. Their ultimate goal is nothing less than the destruction of the United States and Israel, which they consider their main impediment to the establishment of a worldwide Caliphate. To this end, the mullahs are willing to risk a nuclear Armageddon rather than lose their tenuous grip on power. As a result, Iran has been pursuing a full-scale clandestine program to develop and deploy nuclear weapons while simultaneously cultivating ties with al-Qaeda as they direct and coordinate attacks against “the Great Satan.”
