Includes bibliographical references (pages 193-202) and index.

"From Hitler's Final Solution, to Stalin's gulags, to the organized killings of the Tutsis in Rwanda, the twentieth century has been the bloodiest in human history. Machiavelli's notion that men are more inclined to do evil than good has never been more true. Yet in all these cases, American officials were reluctant to accept the barefaced wickedness of the perpetrators until it was too late. The same thing is happening with Iran today." "In Accomplice to Evil, political analyst Michael A. Ledeen offers a wake-up call to the American people, warning that we and our leaders are repeating the disastrous mistakes of the past. While America has, for the last thirty years, tried to reach various agreements with Iran, Iran has been the foremost supporter of radical Islamic terrorism, calling for the death of "the Great Satan" and supplying weapons, soldiers, money, and intelligence to those bent on our destruction. Citing our freedoms and our refusal to accept Islamic religious law, Iran has all but declared war on the United States. Ledeen takes a comprehensive look at how we've refused to acknowledge the implications of a rising evil, and how we can defeat these forces that threaten us and our very way of life."--Jacket.
