520 2 "For several years the Iranian government tried everything
to silence Shirin Ebadi: They arrested her, bugged her
phones, attacked her home, shadowed her everywhere she
went, seized her office, and nailed a death threat to her
front door. But nothing could stop Ebadi from her work as
a human rights lawyer defending women, children, and the
persecuted in Iran. After several years of harassment and
intimidation, the Iranian spy services turned their sights
onto Ebadi's only weakness: those she loved the most, her
family. First the authorities detained her daughter, then
they laid a trap for her husband straight out of a spy
novel. The Iranian government took everything from Shirin
Ebadi--her marriage, her home, her property, her bank
accounts, they even seized her Nobel Prize--but the one
thing they could not take was her spirit and her desire
for a better future for her country. Shirin Ebadi is one
of the most revered leaders on the global stage. For the
first time she's telling the full story of how the
government of Iran tried to destroy her, and almost
succeeded"--|cProvided by publisher.
520 2 "The first Muslim woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize,
Shirin Ebadi has inspired millions around the globe
through her work as a human rights lawyer defending women
and children against a brutal regime in Iran. Now Ebadi
tells her story of courage and defiance in the face of a
government out to destroy her, her family, and her mission
: to bring justice to the people and the country she
loves. For years the Islamic Republic tried to intimidate
Ebadi, but after Mahmoud Ahmadinejad rose to power in 2005,
the censorship and persecution intensified. The government
wiretapped Ebadi's phones, bugged her law firm, sent spies
to follow her, harassed her colleagues, detained her
daughter, and arrested her sister on trumped-up charges.
It shut down her lectures, fired up mobs to attack her
home, seized her offices, and nailed a death threat to her
front door. Despite finding herself living under
circumstances reminiscent of a spy novel, nothing could
keep Ebadi from speaking out and standing up for human
dignity. But it was not until she received a phone call
from her distraught husband--and he made a shocking
confession that would all but destroy her family--that she
realized what the intelligence apparatus was capable of to
silence its critics. The Iranian government would end up
taking everything from Shirin Ebadi--her marriage, friends,
and colleagues, her home, her legal career, even her Nobel
Prize--but the one thing it could never steal was her
spirit to fight for justice and a better future. This is
the amazing, at times harrowing, simply astonishing story
of a woman who would never give up, no matter the risks.
Just as her words and deeds have inspired a nation, Until
We Are Free will inspire you to find the courage to stand
up for your beliefs; advance praise for Until We Are Free:
"Shirin Ebadi is quite simply the most vital voice for
freedom and human rights in Iran"--Reza Aslan, author of
No god but God and Zealot : The Life and Times of Jesus of
Nazareth; "A riveting account of a brave, lonely struggle.
Reads like a police thriller, its drama heightened by
Ebadi's determination to keep up the quotidian aspects of
her family life"--The Washington Post Book World; "A must-
read. may be the most important book you could read this
year"--Seattle Post-Intelligencer; "As a testament to how
a single, inspired voice can rise above the cacophony. The
book should be required reading"--The Nation; "Some of her
admirers in Iran call her a woman of steel. Sure, the
Iranian human rights champion also has a heart of gold.
But it is Shirin Ebadi's unbending will that explains how
she has become the conscience of the Islamic Republic"--
Time; "[Ebadi] has risked her freedom and her life to
defend democracy, free speech, and the rule of law"--The
Boston Globe"--|cProvided by publisher.
