"For any student or researcher into Iran's nuclear programme, this book is a highly useful, frequently insightful, and ultra-contemporary volume that is a must-read." - Stephen McGlinchey, e-International Relations, June 2012

"Expert contributors assess US and European diplomatic efforts to counter Iran's nuclear programme." - Aiden Warren, Survival, Vol. 54, 1, Feb-Mar 2012

"As one who has little background knowledge in this area I found the book an excellent read... one does not need to be a nuclear physicist to be able to benefit from the book’s content... The book is definitely worth paying for: the variety of author backgrounds and expertise makes it a much more worthwhile buy than a single author volume." - David G Kibble, Lieutenant Commander, RNR; The Naval Review, August 2012
