"An important story. Harrowing, and suspenseful, yes--but it's also a deep dive into a complex and egregiously misunderstood country with two very different faces. There is no better time to know more about Iran--and Jason Rezaian has seen both of those faces."
-- Anthony Bourdain

The dramatic memoir of the journalist who was held hostage in a high-security prison in Tehran for eighteen months and whose release--which almost didn't happen--became a part of the Iran nuclear deal

In July 2014, Washington Post Tehran bureau chief Jason Rezaian was arrested by Iranian police, accused of spying for America. The charges were absurd. Rezaian's reporting was a mix of human interest stories and political analysis. He had even served as a guide for Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown. Initially, Rezaian thought the whole thing was a terrible misunderstanding, but soon realized that it was much more dire as it became an eighteen-month prison stint with impossibly high diplomatic stakes.

While in prison, Rezaian had tireless advocates working on his behalf. His brother lobbied political heavyweights including John Kerry and Barack Obama and started a social media campaign--#FreeJason--while Jason's wife navigated the red tape of the Iranian security apparatus, all while the courts used Rezaian as a bargaining chip in negotiations for the Iran nuclear deal.

In Prisoner, Rezaian writes of his exhausting interrogations and farcical trial. He also reflects on his idyllic childhood in Northern California and his bond with his Iranian father, a rug merchant; how his teacher Christopher Hitchens inspired him to pursue journalism; and his life-changing decision to move to Tehran, where his career took off and he met his wife. Written with wit, humor, and grace, Prisoner brings to life a fascinating, maddening culture in all its complexity.

"Jason paid a deep price in defense of journalism and his story proves that not everyone who defends freedom carries a gun, some carry a pen."
--John F. Kerry, 68th Secretary of State

Tasty treats, but don’t like the size.
Flavor Name: Beef, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Dogs loved them, and it’s a great price for the amount of ounces you receive, but the individual pieces are too big - only 8 total in the package. I break them in half for my two dogs.

My dogs think these are actual steak bites
Flavor Name: Beef, Size: 1.5 Pound (Pack of 1)
I’ve tried a lot of treats and my dogs usually get bored after a while, but they go crazy every single time I grab this bag. The pieces are soft and easy to break apart, which is perfect for training or smaller bites. I also like that they don’t smell horrible like some jerky treats do. My picky dog even listens better when I have these in my pocket, so that says a lot. Great size bag for the price and they stay fresh — definitely a repeat buy in our house.

Good if your dog’s not picky
Flavor Name: Beef, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I ordered two treats. One was the beef because thought I’d give it a try. It looks good. Smells good, but not a hit with my dogs. It’s really soft and they like just a little bit harder too, but for little dogs are medium that are not too picky. I would definitely get this for them if they want something other than a chicken treat.
