the Truth World Did Not See for 47 Years

For The Truth the World Did Not See for 47 Years: From Ithaca to Evin Prison, an engineered masterpiece of historical brevity that chronicles the systematic dismantling of pre-revolutionary Iran's builder class. Written with the clinical precision of a Cornell-trained technocrat and guided by classic Persian literary discipline, Bahman Khaki delivers a devastating, data-checked account of his 168-day detention amid the chaos of the 1979 Revolution. By capturing iconic historical milestones-from the rooftop executions at the Refah School to history's largest prison break-this sub-120-page memoir serves as an indispensable, unflinching audit of a generation nearly erased by history. Front-cover endorsement provided by veteran journalist and former executive editor-in-chief of Kayhan, Amir Taheri: "A gripping memoir of resilience, integrity, and truth."
