In the summer of 2009, when the Iranian journalist Nazila Fathi was covering the popular uprisings in Tehran for the New York Times, she received a threatening phone call and soon attracted the attention of undercover agents. Fathi fled the country with her husband and two children. She discusses this exile, as well as the turmoil and instability in Iran, in The Lonely War: One Woman’s Account of the Struggle for Modern Iran.
