A Dangerous Delusion

* Hugely topical essay about one of the most important global issues of the day from one of Britain's major political commentators.; * Both authors have excellent press connections and we have strong interest already across the broadcast and print media (including the Telegraph, Spectator and Hay Festival).; * Passionately argued and meticulously researched, this is the definitive case against military intervention in Iran in the light of the Iraq war debacle.; * Oborne's previous sales history is strong: The Triumph of the Political Class (2008) has sold over 11,000 copies to date, as has The Rise of Political Lying (2005).

The definitive case against military action in Iran - eloquently made by Telegraph commentator Peter Oborne and Middle East specialist David Morrison.In 2013 it is possible that Israel, backed by the United States, will launch an attack on Iran. This would be a catastrophic event, risking war, bloodshed and global economic collapse. In this passionate, but rationally argued essay, the authors attempt to avert a potential global catastrophe by showing that the grounds for war do not exist, that there are no Iranian nuclear weapons, and that Iran would happily come to a table and strike a deal. They argue that the military threats aimed by the West against Iran contravene international law, and argue that Iran is a civilised country and legitimate power across the Middle East. For years Peter Oborne and David Morrison have, in their respective fields, examined the actions of our political classes and found them wanting. Now they have joined forces to make a powerful case against military action. In the wake of the Iraq war, will the politicians listen?
