"[Thérèse Delpech's] authority and autonomy have never faced an outcast's passage through a desert of scorn; instead they are bolstered by private conversations with government leaders, and in 2005 by one of France's major literary awards, the Prix Femina for nonfiction." — New York Times
"In this book Thérèse Delpech, a UN advisor on proliferation and an intrepid and tenacious researcher, uncloaks the network of collaboration that has enabled Tehran to reach the threshold of having nuclear weapons." — Le Monde
"Iran's nuclear program has become one of the most burning issues on the international scene. Thérèse Delpech's book comes out at the perfect time to unravel the tangles of the debate, all the more so since the author is intimately familiar with the negotiation process while continuing to speak her mind freely." — La Croix
"Therese Delpech, one of the world’s leading authorities on international nuclear security, dissects Iran’s nuclear programme in minute detail." — The Middle East
"Thérèse Delpech is highly informed about the Iranian nuclear program and the efforts to deal with it, as she has been involved with this challenge for more than a decade. She is a highly regarded strategist and historian of nuclear weapons, and therefore can place the Iranian challenge in several contexts. She offers readers an outstandingly capable and enjoyable guide through a troubling subject, neither avoiding controversy nor diluting her analysis and prose to suit the widest possible taste. Readers will not be bored." — George Perkovic, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
"[A] wonderfully pugnacious book… sharp book… it is hard to see how this could be bettered." — Lawrence D. Freedman, Foreign Affairs
