Between Two Worlds is an extraordinary story of how an innocent young woman got caught up in the current of political events and met individuals whose stories vividly depict human rights violations in Iran.
-- Shirin Ebadi, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize
Between Two World is the harrowing chronicle of Iranian-American journalist Roxana Saberi's imprisonment in Iran--as well as a penetrating look at Iran and its political tensions. Here for the first time is the full story of Saberi's arrest and imprisonment, which drew international attention as a cause célèbre from Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and leaders across the globe.
Inside Evin Prison, she faced her interrogators alone and was subjected to intense psychological pressure--all while discovering an unexpected sisterhood with the women jailed alongside her.
- A Forced Confession: Pressured by her interrogator to admit to being a CIA spy, Saberi reveals the harrowing process of being coerced into telling lies to save her own life.
- Psychological White Torture A gripping account of the mental battle against solitary confinement, endless interrogations, and threats against her family designed to break a prisoner's spirit.
- Sisterhood in an Iranian Prison: Finding strength and solidarity with her fellow female cellmates--Baha'i leaders, political activists, and other women caught in the regime's net--who shared their stories, courage, and hope.
- A Dual National's Captivity: A rare, firsthand look at the precarious existence of a dual citizen in Iran and the complex political tensions between two worlds that defined her arrest and trial.
