UK journalist falsely imprisoned by the Iran police state
London-based Iranian journalist and film-maker Maziar Bahari was arrested without charge during the 2009 Iranian election protests. His family's campaign for his release won international support, including from Panorama, The Daily Show, Channel 4 News, The New York Times and the Economist, among many others.
“Then They Came for Me is a unique achievement. It is a story not
just of political cruelty (a subject Bahari treats movingly), but
also about the two poles of Iranian political culture, bent
together in upheaval.”
*Guardian*
“I really connected to Maziar’s story. It’s a personal story but
one with universal appeal about what it means to be free.”
*Jon Stewart*
“Then They Came for Me is the story of those who fight to inform
and enlighten their society. Fortunately, Iran is not only a
country of Ahmadinejads and mullahs; the country is also blessed
with plenty of Maziar Baharis.”—
*Shirin Ebadi, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize*
"This harrowing memoir provides an illuminating glimpse into the
security apparatus of one of the world’s most repressive countries.
Especially timely given recent events throughout the Middle East,
this book is recommended for anyone wishing to better understand
the workings of a police state."
*Kirkus Reviews*
“A beautifully written account of life in Iran, filled with
insights not only into the power struggles and political
machinations but into the personal, emotional lives of the people
living in that complicated country. Maziar Bahari is a brave man
and a wonderful storyteller.”
*Fareed Zakaria - author of The Post-American World*
"What makes Bahari’s account so readable is not only his sense of
fair play – he tries to understand the motivations of the regime,
and of his torturer – but also his keen sense of fun and
humour."
*The Sunday Times*
"A profound, yet intimate insight into modern day Iran, told
through Bahari's own and his family's experience of living through
it. A wonderful book."
*Jon Snow - Channel Four News*
Offers an alarming window into the minds of those who rule Iran
today... Readers will come away from this intimate, authoritative
book with a fuller understanding of Iran, why its green uprising
petered out, and why no one should be surprised if it kicks off
again.
*Financial Times*
Absolutely compelling. A must-read.
*Elementary V Watson*
