Rosewater (Movie Tie-in Edition): A Family's Story of Love, Captivity, and Survival - Tapa blanda

"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

"An important and elegant book . . . a prison memoir enlarged into a family history."--The New Republic

"Clear and compelling . . . engaging and informative--a gripping tribute to human dedication and a cogent indictment of a corrupt regime."--Washington Independent Review of Books

"Then They Came for Me is not only a fascinating, human exploration into Bahari's personal experience . . . it also provides insight into the shared experience of those affected by repressive governments everywhere."--Mother Jones

"A damning account . . . Then They Came For Me turns a lens not only on Iran's surreal justice system but on the history and culture that helped produce it."--The Washington Post

"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."--The Guardian (UK)

"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

"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

When Maziar Bahari left London in June 2009 to cover Iran's presidential election, he assured his pregnant fiancée, Paola, that he'd be back in just a few days, a week at most.
