C. P. W. reviewed on 10/14/2012

A radical transition from palace luxury to austere poverty, this true story describes what happens when people come into power and use it inappropriately. As a result of such misuse, the Oufkir family endured punishment for the deeds of someone else (the father). As the Middle East continues to broil, there's no doubt that this morbid activity is ongoing and others are suffering similar fates as well. I'm surprised that any of the family emerged from their 2-decade imprisonment with their sanity intact. A remarkable read and one to be remembered long after the last page is turned. (I don't know why the red circle accompanies this review; I didn't put it there and can't get rid of it.) This book should be read by everyone who values freedom.
