Escaping Islam
Author: Mano Bakh
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1438941579
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
The world remains confused, and lacks understanding regarding the culture of the Middle East. Escaping Islam is a provocative and timely story that is rich with historical events, giving the reader verbal exposure to the dangers brought about by Iran's support of radical Muslim ideology. Mano Bakh was a high ranking officer in Iran's Imperial Navy when, in 1979, during the Islamic revolution, he miraculously escaped with his life. The harrowing experiences he was subjected to, currently exemplifies the free world's necessity to deal with the ongoing aggressive Islamic movement, and the oil money that supports it. This living story begins with an introduction to Iran's history and Persian customs. It continues by encompassing the development of OPEC, the amazing Khark Island oil project in the Persian Gulf, and relating the happy life of a young boy growing up in his grandmother's house in Tehran. Tunnels connected the homes of the thirty two family members who enjoyed the daily ceremony of dining together around an antique Persian carpet, adorned with a white Sofreh, "table cloth," while grandmother smoked her water pipe. * * * * * * * Mr. Bakh was born a Muslim, but became disenchanted with the religion whose mission was to kill or convert all who did not believe in the teachings of the Koran. His candid understanding of what happened to a country that was once America's best friend and then turned into an Axis of Evil, will educate the reader as to why that Evil might not be realized until it is too late. Joy, laughter, prosperity, hope and respect in Iran's society, quickly changed to hate, revenge, misery and mourning!

Farewell My Beloved, Goodbye Dear Leader
Author: Brigitte M. Wareham
Publisher: Austin Macauley Publishers
ISBN: 1398496545
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
The only certainty in life is death. Even the most powerful leaders throughout history were unable to cheat the Grim Reaper. World leaders, whether revered or reviled, are rarely allowed to exit gracefully from life but instead receive a state funeral, a major international event incorporating splendid symbols and messages, religious faith, and tradition. The body of Tsar Alexander III was carried across half of Russia before finally being buried in St. Petersburg. People paid obscene amounts of money for a room that gave a glimpse of Queen Victoria’s fascinating State funeral. The cortège for China’s Empress-Dowager Cixi was not to be photographed – nevertheless photos showed up a century later. For political reasons Generalissimo Franco’s body was exhumed decades after his death. The world became acquainted with a rather unusual ancient Roman Catholic ritual, when Pope John Paul I died. The body of India’s Indira Gandhi was confined to sacred flames. The last journey of Marshal Tito turned into an event of “Funeral Diplomacy”, whilst Khomeini’s funeral ended in frenzy and tumult. In 2021 the massive restrictions imposed due to the Covid-19 pandemic meant a rigid downsizing of Prince Philip’s funeral, hardly any guests were allowed to attend. This revealing and entertaining book provides an insight into unique obsequies from across the world, seen as both a celebration of life and the honouring of death.

Dear Da-Lê
Author: Anh Duong
Publisher: Douglas & McIntyre
ISBN: 1771624299
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
In an intensely revealing memoir written for his Canadian daughter, a man breaks a lifetime of silence about the traumas of his childhood in war-torn Vietnam and his years as a refugee in revolutionary Iran. Spanning decades and generations, this heartfelt memoir began as a series of letters from a worried father. Anh Duong had witnessed terrible things as a child during the Vietnam War, and later as a refugee in Iran during the revolution of the late 1970s. But like many in the Vietnamese diaspora, he had remained silent about his experiences, believing that trauma was better left unspoken. However, when his daughter became involved in student protests, Duong felt compelled to speak about his own experience of uprisings. In precise prose, Dear Da-Lê moves along a taut narrative thread that begins with Duong’s birth in 1953 and ends with his arrival, frayed and broke, in Canada in 1980. With surprising moments of hope and tenderness amid brutal divisions, the author creates a coming-of-age story intertwined with the human costs of war and exile. Its revelations are sure to resonate not only with the generation born to refugees of the Vietnam War, but with anyone seeking to understand the lasting, often hidden torments of violent conflict and the healing that can take place in the act of telling.

After the Fall of Heaven
Author: Kioumars Sahebpanah
Publisher: Fulton Books, Inc.
ISBN: 1637107897
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 159
Book Description
Throughout life, you stand at many crossroads, where you have to make a choice--you have to go left or right. For the most part, one convinces oneself that the choices one makes and the decisions one makes are made on the basis of rational and sensible considerations, but often it is our emotions that ultimately make the difference. Other times, it is some external circumstances or coincidences that determine whether one is going to follow the path to the left or to the right. For most people, it doesn't matter much which way they follow; most get where they want to go, perhaps with a few knubs, but rarely life-threatening. In this book, we follow a little Iranian boy--Kioumars--from the age of four until he, as a middle-aged man, writes his memoirs as a Danish citizen in a suburb of Copenhagen. For him, conscious choices, coincidences, or external circumstances have several times meant life or death or vastly different life courses. The book takes us to a newly built neighborhood in Tehran, where we follow family life closely for better and worse, described with a lovely sense of humor. After the revolution, Kioumars flees, and the trip through the mountains to the Turkish border and the wait in Turkey is nerve-wracking. The final destination is Denmark, where he encounters a very different culture in a welfare society that surprises him and presents challenges. In the book, Kioumars looks back on his life and on all the crossroads he has stood by. Several times, coincidences have saved his life; coincidences also led him to Denmark and not to the United States, which was originally his great wish; not wanting to participate in the Iraq War was a conscious choice and led to the escape, and later it was external circumstances that changed Kioumars's life radically as he did not flee but moved from Iran to Denmark. The book is written humorously and unsentimentally but is still experienced as a heartbreaking tale of being a refugee and leaving his homeland and settling into a new culture.
