Snap Judgement: Books.(In the Rose Garden of the Martyrs)(Book Review)
Byline: Matthew Hermann, David Ansen, Andrew Nagorski
In the Rose Garden of the Martyrs by Christopher de Bellaigue
De Bellaigue may be married to an Iranian and speak flawless Farsi, but thankfully that hasn't dulled his outsider's incisive analysis of Iran. Composed of accounts of his conversations with ordinary Iranians, his book traces how the nation's mood moved from revolutionary zeal during its "holy war" with Iraq to expectancy during the late-'90s reform movement to today's doldrums in the face of President Mohammed Khatami's spent potential. Through eloquent human stories, Bellaigue frames the murky politics of Iran in a telling, intimate scale.
