In the Rose Garden of the Martyrs: a Memoir of Iran: English 2005

The author, born in London, is a journalist, speaks Persian, is married to an Iranian, and writes as an insider who is yet an outsider. He explores in his memoir encounters with the so-called "wistful"revolutionaries who today 25 years after the event seem somewhat worn-out. These are mullahs, academics, mystics, traders, and artists who reveal their feelings and opinions, insights which the author builds into the larger picture -- a portrait of the hearts and minds of the Iranian people.
