The Iran nuclear deal was a crowning moment of international diplomacy, allowing the world to step away from the edge of a self-created abyss.  Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw from this agreement threatens to return the world to that precipice.  Ritter’s book traces this tragic mistake of historic proportions.

“If Scott Ritter’s warning on Iraq had been heeded, hundreds of thousands of people would be alive today. Deal Breaker is both a warning and a remarkable record of the criminal destruction of an agreement everyone wanted, except the deeply cynical, stupid and/or insane.”—JOHN PILGER

“Dealbreaker could not be timelier in view of the misleading machinations of both Congress and the Trump administration to rationalize the imposition of sanctions on Iran in light of Donald Trump’s ridiculous decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal.  Trump’s narrative presented in support of his decision is derived from manufactured intelligence, largely provided by Israel.  Ritter provides a fact-based counter-narrative that cuts through the spin, lies and fabrications.“—SENATOR MIKE GRAVEL (D. Alaska)
