Author M. Blake asks readers to imagine what Iranian mullahs, filled with hate and armed with nuclear weapons could do to the world. Adolf Hitler never had nukes, but Blake argues the Iranian government will soon. Blake continues with his argument, saying Iran is seeking nuclear weapons to promote its goals of conquering the oil-rich countries of the Middle East; driving the United States out of the region; and eventually destroying Israel, Europe, and the United States. This book is intended to be not just a picture of where Americans are, but a wake-up call to let Americans know that the Khomeini network is actively planning to destroy the United States.
