Gareth Porter's book
Manufactured Crisis: The Untold
Story of the Iran Nuclear Scare
is a master class in how war lies are created,
distributed, and given the strength of unquestionable
permanence. And now Gareth wants to discuss it
with you and answer your questions in a small online
book club.
Gareth shows how the Israeli and U.S. governments
successfully portrayed various actions taken by Western
nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency
(IAEA) as responses to Iranian covert work on
militarization of its nuclear program -- even though the
Israeli-U.S. actions came prior to and led to Iran's
secretive efforts, which were actually to boost its
legal nuclear energy program. Porter documents the use
of forged papers, the
manipulation of the IAEA, and the
manipulation of the public.
"Gareth Porter has become a one-man truth squad
for the American government and its acolytes in the
mainstream press corps…His probing and digging is a
reminder that those in power, and those who report on
that power, must be held to the highest possible
standard." —Seymour M. Hersh, Pulitzer
Prize-winning investigative
journalist

Endorsements:
"Manufactured Crisis is untold history at its
finest! Gareth Porter systematically and masterfully
debunks three decades of U.S. and allied lies and
distortions about an Iranian nuclear weapons program
that never really existed." —Oliver Stone
and Peter Kuznick, Co-authors, The
Untold History of the United States
"I feel grateful to Gareth Porter for his
intrusive and critical examination of intelligence
material passed to the IAEA. When security organizations
do not shy away from assassinating nuclear scientists we
can take it for certain that they do not for a moment
hesitate to circulate false evidence."
—Hans Blix, Former Director General of the
IAEA
"Exposes the many lies and half-truths that have
been promulgated over more than two decades to try and
convince the American public and the world that Iran is
the chief danger to international peace through its
nuclear program" —Prof. William Beeman,
University of Minnesota

Every month for many months we've hosted an
online book club with
an author and 18 other participants. The books clubs
don't always end after the month. One of our authors,
Sharon Tennison explains:
"Your 'Read-a-Book for four weeks' in April, has
become a regular Book Club for us. We didn’t know
each other when we met but quickly became positively
addicted to each other's knowledge and our meetings! We
continue meeting and setting our own agenda. Thank you
for this Terrific idea!"
So, you've been warned! The friendships can
be lasting. The knowledge can be addictive.
