DEATH TO THE DICTATOR!: WITNESSING IRAN’S ELECTION AND THE CRIPPLING OF THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC
Book ID/图书代码： 11320010B34456
English Summary/英文概要： For much of the world, Iran’s 2009 summer of upheaval was an epic piece of theatre distantly observed. As citizens took to the streets in their millions to protest a stolen election and the regime that made it possible, and later, in smaller numbers, did battle with the shock troops of the Islamic Republic, so the country became effectively off limits for the world’s media. This dramatic confrontation - and the deep divisions that opened among Iran’s rulers as a result - have yet to be convincingly described for a Western audience.
Afsaneh Moqadam observed and took part in the momentous events of that summer. Here, through the eyes of Mohsen, one of Tehran’s young, courageous protesters, Moqadam tells the story of these historic months, from the mass marches that greeted the disputed election results to their brutal suppression by the hated Basij militia - and a dark aftermath of imprisonment, torture and a show trial worthy of Stalinist Russia.
The result is an inspiring account of a confrontation that has signalled the fragility of the Islamic Republic and given pause to those Western leaders, notably President Barack Obama, who must grapple diplomatically with what may become the world’s next nuclear power. Above all, Death to the Dictator! is testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and its ability to strike fear in the hearts of despots.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 2009年6月12日，伊朗德黑蘭。莫森.阿巴索普，一名二十來歲的普通年輕人 - 沒有過激的政見，沒有瘋狂的野心，更沒有憤世嫉俗 - 在伊朗第十次總統大選上，頭下了自己人生的第一票。出於對國內日益惡化的失業比率和通貨膨脹的不滿，莫森選擇站在了改革黨及其總統候選人米爾.侯賽因.馬賽維的一邊。這個年青人堅信，他的選票將會最終幫助到這個國家。
但結果卻是，莫森的選票成為了一紙空文。幾乎就在選舉委員會計票結束的同一時刻，馬哈茂德.艾哈邁迪內賈德隨即對外界宣稱，自己以壓倒性的票數獲選成為新一屆總統。西方世界立刻變得一片譁然，面對如此公然的大選舞弊，外界紛紛表示質疑，而與此同時，莫森卻與其家人夥伴一道深深陷入到了漠然之中，隨後另一種情緒爆發了出來：一種尖銳呐喊 - 憤怒霎時遍佈了這個國家。短短數周之內，百萬伊朗民眾紛紛湧上街頭，他們大聲疾呼「消滅獨裁者!」。但很快，一系列的混亂及災難便遂即降臨到了莫森.阿巴索普的頭上。
就如菲力浦.古雷維奇的作品「國破家亡」以及波蘭記者卡普欽斯基筆下尖銳的報告文學一樣，「消滅獨裁者」以其令人怵目驚心的真實描寫，深深震撼到了每一位讀者的內心。本書作者以匿名的方式，為我們講述了09年之夏於德黑蘭所發生的一切。(ANDY)
