ALISON WEARING [Books of the same author]
Honeymoon In Purdah. An Iranian Journey [Books with the same title]
London England, Macmiilan, 2000. 1st MacMillian Edition, Binding: Cloth, Fine/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Hardback A young Canadian woman dons the cloak of Islam and takes her ersatz husband (who'd been hoping to go to Bulgaria) on a trip beyond the legacy of revolution, religious fundamentalism and the veiled women to find the real people of Iran. The result of her journey is a collection of warm, funny, at times shocking, portraits and stories of the generous irrepressible people she meets. Posing as a honey-mooner, but accidently on purpose setting out on her own every chance she gets - draped in the requisite yards of black polyester - she reveals an irresistable curiosity at every turn. With a novelist's love of language and an eye for dramatic detail, she takes the reader into the homes and hearts of people who welcome her, feed her, and send her off on one adventure after another. She goes to hidden places of interest that recall the romance of Persia, on interminable trips into the desert, to fading palaces by the sea - and wherever she finds herself, she offers us starling glimpses into this enigmatic country. We meet a stranger waving hello in his pyjamas, a sweet young opium dealer who dreams of America, a playful eight-year-old girl only a year away from marriage, an ebullient, heroic Anglican minister, a six-million-dollar man, an angel at an airport, even policemen who bring tea - people whose spirit, intelligence and laughter delight, enlighten and impress. Beautifully written, fresh and fascinating at every turn, Honeymoon in Purdah reveals an Iran rarely seen by Westerners and introduces an exceptional young writer .

For Love of Justice. The Life of a Quixotic Soldier [Books with the same title]
London England, Quarted Books, 1997. First Edition, Binding: Cloth, Fine/Very Good./fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 070437109X Hardback Major Derek Cooper O.B.E., M.C., has served with distinction as a soldier and been a tireless aid-worker and advocate of the rights of Palestinians. This biography is remarkable as a portrait of a man of intense personal bravery with a passionate commitment to a sense of justice. It was his fascination with the politics of the Middle East which dominated this second career and from the Iranian earthquake in 1962 to Beirut at the height of the war in 1982, he was always at the front line and has never shirked controversy. This is a fascinating portrait of a courageous man who fought tirelessly for justice for Palestinians at a time when their plight was almost never questioned in the West. Illustrated........ .
