Sorry for the late notice! Haleh Esfandiari will be launching My Prison, My Home today at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, from 4-5 pm.

More from the invitation:

This memoir is an account of how Haleh Esfandiari’s yearly visit to her mother in her native Iran turned into a political nightmare that exposed the tensions in Iran-U.S. relations and the fear and paranoia that characterizes the current regime in Tehran. Esfandiari became the victim of the far-fetched belief on the part of Iran’s Intelligence Ministry that she, a scholar and program director with the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington, D.C., was part of an American conspiracy for “regime change” in Iran.
