✦ Synopsis

Recent Books sensitivity, he describes his life in Iran as a member of a well-to-do family and re counts how he turned to leftist politics, ended up in the shah's prison, and then tried to come to terms with the Islamic revolution. Finally, in 1986 he left his homeland, disillusioned by the Khomeini period, which had turned out to be at least as repressive as that of the shah.
