About this ebook

“Between Two Worlds is an extraordinary story of how an innocent young woman got caught up in the current of political events and met individuals whose stories vividly depict human rights violations in Iran.”
— Shirin Ebadi, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize

Between Two World is the harrowing chronicle of Iranian-American journalist Roxana Saberi’s imprisonment in Iran—as well as a penetrating look at Iran and its political tensions. Here for the first time is the full story of Saberi’s arrest and imprisonment, which drew international attention as a cause célèbre from Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and leaders across the globe.


Accused of espionage and held in solitary confinement, how does an innocent woman survive Iran’s most notorious prison?


  • A False Confession: Pressured by interrogators to admit to being a spy for the CIA, Saberi is forced to create a devastating lie on camera to save her own life.
  • Solitary Confinement: Locked away in a tiny cell, she must find the strength to endure crushing isolation, intense fear, and the fight to hold onto her sanity.
  • Psychological Pressure: This gripping memoir details the “white torture” and relentless interrogations designed to break a prisoner’s spirit without leaving a physical mark.
  • An International Incident: Learn the full story behind the arrest that drew calls for her release from President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and leaders across the world.
