Secret Notes From Iran - Diary Of An Undercover Journalist (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Secret Notes From Iran is the first-person account of a journalist who travelled through Iran, disguised as a casual tourist, during the stormy US-Iran stand-off in the summer of 2017. With Iran now facing the possibility of a full-scale war with the US, the book features critical geopolitical analysis of Iran's position in the current world order. The reader is taken across the length and breadth of the country, and the iconic Iranian settings serve as venues of illuminating conversations with Iranian locals about their predicament.

The narrative is accompanied by exclusive photographs taken in Tehran, Shiraz, Isfahan, Persepolis, Bandar Abbas and several other locations. The book comprises revealing first-hand observations, analyses of oil politics, a heady dose of war talk, a close look at sensitive social issues, and powerful interviews of world-renowned geopolitical writer and Iran expert, Vijay Prashad, and celebrated anti-hijab Iranian activist and writer, Masih Alinejad.

This book reflects the deeply conflicted times we live in, filled with equal measures of uplifting promise and dangerous portent.

The book also features a powerful interview with Noam Chomsky, the most prominent political scientist of our times, on the US-Iran standoff.
