Assassins Of The Turquoise Palace

One evening in September, 1992, eight leading members of the Iranian and Kurdish opposition gathered at a little-known restaurant in Berlin. Two darkly clad men burst through the entrance, and within moments, the roar of a machine gun filled the air. Hakakian's "Assassins of the Turquoise Palace" is an incredible book of history and reportage, and an unforgettable narrative of heroism and justice. 320 pp.
