London.: Saqi Books.. August,2004.. 473pp, paperback. "Growing up under the rule of Mohammed-Reza Shah Pahlavi in the aftermath of the CIA coup in Iran exposed the young Banisadr to extremes of wealth and poverty, loyalty and betrayal. Years later in the United Kingdom, where Banisadr had gone to do postgraduate study, he decided to join the Mojahedin. He fought and campaigned to dislodge the corrupt regime that poisoned his country. Torn between two loves - his family and the cause - Banisadr sacrificed normal life to pursue the revolution. But it wasn't long before the dream turned sour. The people he was fighting for began to look like those he had overthrown. For all his pains and dedication he was cruelly rewarded: forcibly divorced from his wife, separated for over a decade from his children, persecuted, mentally beaten, his career in ruins and exiled from his country, he escaped with little more than his life."
