In the Rose Garden of the Martyrs: A Memoir of Iran

A sympathetic portrait of the revolutionaries of Iran documents how holy warriors successfully removed the Shah from power, fought the forces of Saddam Hussein, and gained the enmity of the West before losing much of their public fervency, in a volume that offers insight into the mullahs, academics, traders, mystics, and others who comprise their numbers today. Reader's Guide available. Reprint. 35,000 first printing.
