Summary: In this memoir, Esfandiari, an Iranian American intellectual who has taught at Princeton U., founded the Woodrow Wilson Center's Middle East Program, and worked in Iran as a journalist, tells of how after being robbed during a visit to her mother in Iran in 2006, she was arrested at the age of 67, as Iran's Intelligence Ministry thought she was part of the American conspiracy for "regime change" in Iran. They ordered a search of her mother's apartment, interrogated her for weeks, tapped her phone calls, and detained her at the Evin Prison for eight months, where she spent almost four in solitary confinement. She relates the story within the context of US-Iran relations and how the Iran of today came to be.
