My Prison, My Home

A distinguished Iranian-American intellectual, Haleh Esfandiari is the founding Director of the Woodrow Wilson Center's Middle East Program. Falsely imprisoned for four months in Iran under the belief that she knew of a U.S. plot for "regime change," Esfandiari was placed in solitary confinement, subjected to interrogation, and threatened with a show trial and life in prison. Weaving her personal story of capture and release with her extensive knowledge of Iran, My Prison is a survivor's portrait of Iran today.

With Ali Eteraz

Children of Dust

In Children of Dust, Ali Eteraz-an international lawyer who founded a think tank dedicated to legal reform in the Muslim world-recounts his schooling in a madrassa in Pakistan, his move to the United States, and his subsequent return to find a Muslim wife, during which he becomes the subject of an abduction plot by the Taliban and is forced to grapple with his Islamic identity.
