by Behrooz Ghamari (OR Books, ISBN 978 1 682190 8)
Leftist activist Behrooz Ghamari was incarcerated for three-and-a-half years by the nascent theocratic regime in Iran in the wake of the overthrow of the Shah in 1979. Arrested along with hundreds of other leftists as the Islamists sought to eliminate their political opponents, he was subjected to brutal interrogations and torture at the notorious Evin prison. Remembering Akbar: Inside the Iranian Revolution is his memoir of that awful experience.
