Title: Prisoner Pdf My 544 Days in an Iranian Prison--Solitary Confinement, a Sham Trial, High-Stakes Diplomacy, and the Extraordinary Efforts It Took to Get Me Out
“An important story. Harrowing, and suspenseful, yes—but it’s also a deep dive into a complex and egregiously misunderstood country with two very different faces. There is no better time to know more about Iran—and Jason Rezaian has seen both of those faces.”
— Anthony Bourdain
The dramatic memoir of the journalist who was held hostage in a high-security prison in Tehran for eighteen months and whose release—which almost didn’t happen—became a part of the Iran nuclear deal
In July 2014, Washington Post Tehran bureau chief Jason Rezaian was arrested by Iranian police, accused of spying for America. The charges were absurd. Rezaian’s reporting was a mix of human interest stories and political analysis. He had even served as a guide for Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown. Initially, Rezaian thought the whole thing was a terrible misunderstanding, but soon realized that it was much more dire as it became an eighteen-month prison stint with impossibly high diplomatic stakes.
While in prison, Rezaian had tireless advocates working on his behalf. His brother lobbied political heavyweights including John Kerry and Barack Obama and started a social media campaign—#FreeJason—while Jason’s wife navigated the red tape of the Iranian security apparatus, all while the courts used Rezaian as a bargaining chip in negotiations for the Iran nuclear deal.
In Prisoner, Rezaian writes of his exhausting interrogations and farcical trial. He also reflects on his idyllic childhood in Northern California and his bond with his Iranian father, a rug merchant; how his teacher Christopher Hitchens inspired him to pursue journalism; and his life-changing decision to move to Tehran, where his career took off and he met his wife. Written with wit, humor, and grace, Prisoner brings to life a fascinating, maddening culture in all its complexity.
“Jason paid a deep price in defense of journalism and his story proves that not everyone who defends freedom carries a gun, some carry a pen.”
—John F. Kerry, 68th Secretary of State
Very well written, important personal story When I saw Mr Rezaian on the news mentioning he wrote a book, I immediately downloaded it. The story is absorbing. Most Americans should remember the news stories about the WP journalists held in Iran at the end of Obama's tenure, but to read about the story from one of the prisoner's point of view is so important.The book reads like a great story - And it is. I could not put it down.Disturbing story about imprisonment in Iran Rezaian is a Washington Post reporter who got imprisoned in Iran (where he held dual citizenship) for the “crime” of reporting on public events. So did his wife, I guess for being his wife. Iran has a nasty habit of seizing hostages to use as bargaining chips. The book takes you through the story of his imprisonment and eventual release, and the friends (and enemies) he made in prison. There’s a good account (toward the end) of the Obama Administration’s reasoning and thinking in its Iran negotiations. What comes across is that Rezaian loves Iran’s people and feels deep sorrow for the way its oppressive government has betrayed them. A good read.Compelling and Thoughtful Jason Rezaian's book offers a rare glimpse into Iran for any American since the 1970s. The book truly isn't what you might expect- it's far from simply an account of his time in Evin Prison. It captures the story of a first-generation young man, for the most part, has a very familiar story of so many growing up in America with an immigrant parent. He takes a chance on a country that seemed familiar until it inevitably turned its back on him. 'Prisoner' is thoughtful, at points comical, and more relatable than you think.Jason's struggle is truly harrowing, but somehow he manages to maintain perspective and brings us along with him for both the ebbs and flows of his life and career. His account is brutally honest, which truly helps capture the raw emotion in every page. Whether you're a journalist, educator, or someone who appreciates great writing, 'Prisoner' will truly satisfy your needs to understand a culture mostly concealed to Americans.
