The Golden Cage: Three Brothers, Three Choices, One Destiny is a book by Iranian human rights activist Shirin Ebadi.[1][2]

Plot

[edit]

The book tells the story of three brothers whose lives were heavily influenced by Iranian history: the oldest, Abbas, was a soldier under the Shah; the second, Javad, was a communist activist; the younger, Ali, supported Khomeini's Islamic revolution.[3] All of their lives will be influenced by the worst chapters of Iranian history in the 20th century, including the Iranian Revolution, the Iran-Iraq war, and the executions of political opponents.
