Summary
PROTECT AMERICANS
Learn From What Happened to Iranians What happens to a nation when freedom is taken away — and loses opportunities, security, and, in too many cases, the lives.
Dr. Effie Miri lived through it. Born and educated in Iran, she left to pursue her doctorate in the United States, expecting to return home and continue to work as a faculty member. The Revolution of 1979 changed everything. What began as a temporary separation became a permanent exile — and a lifelong mission to understand how a country loses its freedom, although awaken, and how another can learn to protect its own.
Drawing on decades of experiences as a Ph. D. psychologist and psychotherapist, along with her own family's history and the voices of Iranians still living under the regime today, and those Iranians outside of Iran striving to help Iran, Dr. Miri examines:
• How outside powers shaped the events that led to the 1979 Islamic revolution
• The global ambitions of radical extremist ideology — and how it differs from the faith of everyday Muslim believers
• The psychological toll of authoritarian rule on families, parenting, and children
• The quiet courage of ordinary Iranians resisting the suffering through friendship, increasing awareness, hardworking, industrious, diligent, love, and hope
Part personal history, part psychological analysis, part warning, Protect America is written for readers in a free country who may not realize how easily freedom can be lost — and what it takes to keep it.
"If the experience of Iran can help my second nation recognize danger earlier... then writing this book has served one of its purposes besides helping Iran." — Dr. Effie Miri, Ph.D.
