First edition (publ. I.B. Tauris)

Nuclear Iran: Birth of an Atomic State is a 2012 book by the writer David Patrikarakos. The book documented Iran's growing nuclear capabilities, the increasing global tensions surrounding them, and US and Israeli suspicions that they could be a guise for the development of a new nuclear weapons programme.

Nuclear Iran was named as a New York Times Editor's Choice and nominated for the 2013 Total Politics Book Awards.[1][2] Bill Keller, writing in The New York Times described it as "a cleareyed history of the Iranian nuclear program, enriched by access to a number of key participants and a wealth of scholarly empathy."[3]

The book was welcomed for its "long-term perspective" by Paul Rogers who noted that "the era of the Shah is key, especially after the huge hike in oil prices in 1973-4".[4] It was further termed "minutely researched, deeply immersive, and written with flair" by Tablet magazine.[5]
