ISBN: 9780802119117 - assassins of the turquoise palace (15 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Good. On the evening of September 17, 1992, eight leading members of the Iranian and Kurdish opposition had gathered at a little-known restaurant in Berlin when two darkly-clad men burst through the entrance. Within moments, the roar of a machine gun filled the air. Two rounds of fire and four single shots later, four of the men were dead. One of the survivors of that shooting, along with the widow of one of the victims and a handful of reporters, attorneys, and fellow exiles, began a crusade that would not only pit them against Tehran but against some of the greatest powers in Germany. When an undeterred federal prosecutor, and an endlessly patient chief judge, took over the case, a historic verdict followed which shook both Europe and Iran, and achieved something few could have predicted--justice. Roya Hakakian's The Assassins of the Turquoise Palace is an incredible book of history and reportage, and an unforgettable narrative of heroism and justice.…

Within moments, the roar of a machine gun filled the air. After two rounds of fire, four single shots followed, leaving four dead. Who pulled the triggers? The morning papers implicated people associated with the Iraqi president, Saddam Hussein. The chief federal prosecutor suspected a Kurdish rival group. But neither the press nor the countrys top lawman knew then that these dead were not alone. Since 1980, over one hundred Iranian exiles had disappeared or been assassinated throughout Europe and elsewhere. Their cases remained open and their murders treated as mysteries. But to the federal prosecutor who began investigating the murder, no case was unsolv- able. The investigation would pit him against ubiquitous figures who unleashed all their means to subvert him. The ultimate showdown was a trial that some legal historians call one of Europes most important since Nuremberg after World War II. The verdict that ensued was a political earthquake whose aftershocks still reverberate through Iran and its relations with the world. Roya Hakakians Assassins of the Turquoise Palace is a thrilling reconstruction of a brutal crime and turning point in German and Iranian history, and an unforgettable narrative of heroism and justice.
