Most probably, one feels the same while reading. I will dive into that thrilling read as soon as I can. Your review is descriptive enough, so two thumbs up!

Kudos to you, you were aware of more than I. I hope more people will take the time to learn about what happened there.tanya shukla wrote: ↑11 Apr 2018, 11:31 It's a brilliantly wriiten review of a poweful book. I was aware of the khomeini regime in 1979 but never knew about the massacre of thousands of prisoners. I would love to read this book.

I agree! I actually read a book that touched on Zimbabwe's history after reading this one, and I noticed many similarities. Thank you for taking the time to read my review!zilizopita1998 wrote: ↑11 Apr 2018, 14:36 I always love reading about agony that humankind pass through under dictatorial regimes. This has reminded me of the coup era in most African countries.

Yes, I was BLOWN away by the numbers. I found myself researching this drama after reading the book and it just got more and more sad the deeper I went down the rabbit hole.Kibetious wrote: ↑12 Apr 2018, 16:59 I find it completely out of order that a person would choose to put to death such many people only because they are in the opposition. The number reaching 30000 is completely saddening and it is worse given that it has been hidden by the succeeding governments. The review is nicely done.

I really enjoy the cover art. I was drawn to it from the beginning and after reading I truly appreciated the power behind the statement. I think it's one of the most fitting covers I've seen in some time.kinyaemulatyamatt wrote: ↑12 Apr 2018, 19:25 The cover design of the book is symbolic to the contents of the book.
