ABBEY'S CHOICE DECEMBER 2012 ----- Geoffrey Robertson QC demonstrates with chilling examples why Iran cannot be trusted with nuclear weapons. This timely and authoritative book makes clear how international law must be deployed to stop Iran from developing a nuclear strike capability. Iran's leaders have committed - without compunction - a series of crimes against humanity and a sinister campaign of targeted assassinations. The perpetrators remain in positions of power and are conspiring to commit a greater crime - possession and use of nuclear weapons. Using his unique access to the Boroumand Foundation files, Robertson makes the case that the consequences of a nuclear-armed Iran will be catastrophic for peace and justice for everyone. No scenario can avoid the serious risk that, by design or even miscalculation, the bomb will be used, triggering a regional, and possibly global, war.
