Book Description
================
A riveting, heart-wrenching memoir of Maziar Bahari's brutal interrogation
in Iran's most notorious prison, offering insight into Iran's turbulent
recent past and uncertain future.
When Maziar Bahari left London in June 2009 to cover Iran's presidential
in just a few days, a week at most. Little did he know, as he kissed
her good-bye, that he would spend the next three months in Iran's most
notorious prison, enduring brutal interrogation sessions at the hands
of a man he knew only by his smell: Rosewater.
For the Bahari family, wars, coups, and revolutions are not distant
concepts but intimate realities they have suffered for generations:
Maziar's father was imprisoned by the shah in the 1950s, and his sister
by Ayatollah Khomeini in the 1980s. Alone in his cell at Evin Prison,
fearing the worst, Maziar draws strength from his memories of the courage
of his father and sister in the face of torture, and hears their voices
speaking to him across the years. He dreams of being with Paola in London,
and imagines all that she and his rambunctious, resilient eighty-four-year-old
mother must be doing to campaign for his release. During the worst of
his encounters with Rosewater, he silently repeats the names of his
loved ones, calling on their strength and love to protect him and praying
he will be released in time for the birth of his first child.
A riveting, heart-wrenching memoir, Then They Came for Me offers insight
into the past fifty years of regime change in Iran, as well as the future
of a country where the democratic impulses of the youth continually
clash with a government that becomes more totalitarian with each passing
day. An intimate and fascinating account of contemporary Iran, it is
also the moving and wonderfully written story of one family's extraordinary
courage in the face of repression.
