In "Twelve Days," Alex Berenson follows former CIA agent John Wells as he and his former bosses, Ellis Shafer and Vinnie Duto, uncover a clandestine plot to manipulate the U.S. into attacking Iran. With the President demanding an ultimatum on Iran’s nuclear program and a deadly terrorist attack erupting in Tehran, the trio must locate concrete proof in a tight 12‑day window.
