    About this ebook

    A Good Day to Die is a journey into the heart of the Islamic Republic of Iran where religious fanatics obsessed with Jihad and martyrdom have established a society ruled by sharia, Islamic law. A person who breaks the law is condemned as an enemy of Allah. Baber's hunger for freedom is not only futile but dangerous, because in Iran all gestures, even the most private, are interpreted in politcal terms. A Good Day to Die sheds light on the ideology of Jihad, the philosophy of suicide bombing, and the effect of political oppression on the human spirit. It also tells of the grim realities of a war in which more than one million men lost their lives.

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go
