Description:

In his new memoir “Prisoner,” former Washington Post Tehran bureau chief Jason Rezaian details the year and a half that he spent in an Iranian prison. Rezaian describes his encounters with his jailers, who had complete control over him and were “the most hardheaded and least sophisticated people I had ever encountered.” Rezaian’s captivity occurred as the Obama administration was negotiating a nuclear deal with Iran, and Rezaian was released on the day that the deal was formally announced. He joins Forum to talk about his experience.
