Non-Fiction Memoir
Three young Americans captured by Iranian forces
and held in captivity for two years tell their
story. In summer 2009, Shane Bauer, Joshua Fattal,
and Sarah Shourd were hiking in Iraqi Kurdistan when they
unknowingly crossed into Iran and were captured by a border
patrol. Accused of espionage, the three Americans
ultimately found themselves in Tehran’s infamous Evin
Prison, where they discovered that pooling their strength of
will and relying on each other were the only ways they could
survive. In this poignant memoir, “the hikers”
finally tell their side of the story. They recount the
deception that lured them into Iran in the first place and
describe the psychological torment of interrogation and
solitary confinement. We follow them as they make surprising
alliances with their fellow prisoners and even some of their
captors, while their own bonds with each other are tested
and deepened. Told through a bold and innovative
interweaving of the authors’ three voices, here is a rare
glimpse inside Iran and a timeless portrayal of hardship and
hope.
