Mice in the Walls: Coming of Age in a Shooting Revolution (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692109632)

"I have scars I have no memory of and memories that left no scars," Danny MacCreary admitted afterward. Money, travel, and adventure had lured him overseas to teach English in a stable country with a strong ruler, romance, history, art, and culture. But his friends ended up being the worst sort, the money not nearly enough, and the adventure? A horrifying experience, he admitted later. Danny MacCreary became caught up in revolution and gang warfare. His friends became enemies, and acquaintances were new friends. As he wandered smoke-filled streets, past bodies hanging from lampposts, and garden walls pocketed with summary executions, past women in black chadors waiting fearfully in long lines for bread, and unburied children's bodies littering the battlefields, he realized there was no way out unless he could create it himself. Swept up in the chaos in the streets, this young American finds and proves himself. A brutally honest account of revolution, death, friendship, betrayal, and redemption, Butch Denny's Mice in the Walls stands as an epic of the Iranian Revolution, an event that continues to shape our world today.
