Read in February, 2012

Outstanding read that viscerally conveys the inner turmoil of Iranian expats while exposing the theocratic regime in Iran as heinous and largely unfathomable to the western mindset. Additionally, this book offers a fascinating looks at the German legal system in which, it seems, "prosecutors" actually do what investigators do in the U.S. and the court proceedings end up being group discussions of the evidence by a panel of judges and myriad testifiers.
