FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In Irans Revolutionary Guard, a thoroughly researched investigation of the IRGC, Steven OHern reveals new information about Hezbollah and IRGC operations inside America based on interviews with former and active members of the FBI, CIA, local law enforcement, military intelligence, and even one former Revolutionary Guard officer. OHern delivers a warning-the Revolutionary Guard is a danger to the well-being of all U.S. citizens.For thirty years, Irans Revolutionary Guard has conducted covert and overt military operations, built an economic empire, and has trained, financed, and guided terrorists to pursue one goal-the preservation and expansion of the Islamic revolution. Inside Iran, the IRGC controls or influences Irans politics, economy, foreign policy, and directs its nuclear program. Outside of Iran, the operations of the IRGC and its proxies, including Hezbollah in Lebanon and Shiite militias in Iraq, have left a trail of death-from the 1983 truck bombing of U.S. peacekeepers in Beirut to numerous attacks on U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.No longer content to strike at U.S. troops in Iraq or at U.S. targets in other Persian Gulf countries, the IRGC is developing the capability to strike the continental United States and deliver a blow to the U.S. economy far worse than todays financial crisis. The authors research suggests that the IRGC may be planning to explode a nuclear weapon high above a midwestern city that would emit an electromagnetic pulse strong enough to render useless anything with a computer chip, including the hundreds of transformers that control the countrys electrical grid. Notes Details the threats facing us from Iran, whose revolutionary reach extends from the Middle East to Latin America and beyond. Author Biography STEVEN OHERN is a retired military counterintelligence officer, an Iraq War veteran, and an attorney. While serving in Iraq, Colonel OHern directed intelligence operations against the IRGC; that experience informed his first book, The Intelligence Wars: Lessons from Baghdad (Prometheus Books, 2008). He has taught at the Counter Threat Institute International, a California-based company that provides counterterrorism training to military personnel and law enforcement officers. He lives in Overland Park, Kansas. Review "Steven OHerns definitive history of Irans Revolutionary Guard lays out in chilling detail the blatant acts of terrorism perpetrated with impunity by this group worldwide over three decades. This book is especially timely considering Iran is on the cusp of attaining nuclear weapons and because the ideology-driven IRGC will be the organization to use them. It is an impressive work that highlights the need for America to wake up before its too late."--Col. Timothy J. Geraghty, USMC (Ret.), author of Peacekeepers at War: Beirut 1983--The Marine Commander Tells His Story"The study of Irans Revolutionary Guard could hardly be a more urgent priority for policymakers, students of foreign affairs, and those with an interest in the Middle East. This essential account explores the key role played by the Guard in Iranian society, the economy, and national politics as well as its military value."--Mark Urban, military historian and author of Task Force Black: The Explosive True Story of the SAS and the Secret War in Iraq Review Quote The study of Irans Revolutionary Guard could hardly be a more urgent priority for policymakers, students of foreign affairs, and those with an interest in the Middle East.
