A Young American in Iran | Tom Klobe

1 post | 1 read

In November 1963, a bright Hawaiian morning is shattered by news of the assassination of the President. This marks the beginning of a journey to a remote Iranian village where a young American Peace Corps Volunteer sets out with rebellious tenacity to do what is right, unaware of America's loss of innocence-and his own. From a youthful determination to perpetuate Kennedy's legacy, to coping with the reality of America's faults and ambitions, to grappling with unfamiliar customs and languages, to discovering the friendship and love of Iranians, Tom Klobe discovers that being "Tom of Iran" is as fulfilling as being "American Tom."

A Young American in Iran | Tom Klobe

pick

This was one of the best books I‘ve read in a very long time. Soon after jfk starts the peace Corp the author volunteers to go to Iran. The Iranian character of hospitality to the stranger is something beyond anything an American can understand. Klobe‘s presence there develops into the most intense personal connections you can imagine. It‘s quite evident that the Iranian people loved Americans.
