　　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. 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.

媒体评论

　　“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

　　“Maziar Bahari is a visionary reporter, a deep soul, and a

breathtakingly beautiful writer. Then They Came for Me will have

you aching for the ones you love, furious at the evil of extremism,

and inspired by the heroism of one extraordinary family.  I

can’t recommend this book highly enough – it will forever change

how you view Iran, your family, and your own capacity for

resilience.”

　　--Bruce Feiler, author of Walking the Bible and The Council of

Dads

　　 “A riveting, brutally honest account, Then They Came for Me is

one of the most powerful prison memoirs I have ever read. This

haunting and unforgettable book will make you angry at the prison

that is today's Iran, and happy that a fine journalist like Maziar

Bahari escaped to tell the truth about the regime.”

　　--David Ignatius, author of Body of Lies

　　"Maziar Bahari's story is at once political and personal, and

this account of his family's journey and his own captivity in Iran

is both illuminating and touching.  If you want to understand

modern-day Iran and experience a fascinating human story, read this

book."

　　--Evan Thomas, author of Sea of Thunder and The War Lovers

　　“An extraordinary personal account of the summer of 2009, when

young protestors poured into Iran’s streets, of Bahari’s

imprisonment during the savage repression that followed, and of the

love that helped to set him free.”

　　--Christopher Dickey, author of Securing the City

　　“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 and author of

Iran Awakening

　　“A fascinating walk through Iran's tumultuous recent history.

Students of the region will welcome Mr. Bahari's insightful

contribution.”

　　--Joseph Wilson, former U.S. Ambassador and author of The

Politics of Truth
