Tehran, late 1970s a capital city on the brink of a revolution. After the revolution, the physical and political landscape of Iran drastically changed. The streets were filled with crumbling buildings, sirens rang throughout the night, and smoke filled the skyline. Naz Meknat was a young girl amidst this chaos, and it wouldn't take long to realize her life was destined to be just as chaotic as her burning city. As Naz grew up, she reflected the rebellious nature of the city she called home. As an adolescent, Naz felt confined, wanting more out of life and out of the violent relationship she was in. Naz yearned for a chance at an extraordinary life but felt that it was far out of her reach. The struggles continued, and she had to find a way to keep her hope alive. A hope that turned into a goal, a goal to reach America.

Having heard while in Slavery that "God made of one blood all nations of men," and also that the American Declaration of Independence says, that "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these, are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness;" we could not understand by what right we were held as "chattels." Therefore, we felt perfectly justified in undertaking the dangerous and exciting task of "running a thousand miles" in order to obtain those rights which are so vividly set forth in the Declaration. I beg those who would know the particulars of our journey, to peruse these pages. This book is not intended as a full history of the life of my wife, nor of myself; but merely as an account of our escape; together with other matter which I hope may be the means of creating in some minds a deeper abhorrence of the sinful and abominable practice of enslaving and brutifying our fellow-creatures.

In 100 Miles to Freedom, U.S. Marine Bob Holland tells the story of the release of 3,700 American civilian prisoners of the Japanese at Santo Tomas University Internment Camp in Manila, the Philippines.

This wartime account is complete with interviews of several prisoners describing their experiences and hardships in the camp, as well as black-and-white photos depicting Marines and prisoners during this tumultuous event in history. Discover why Brigadier General Robert E. Galer says that through this book, we can know and better appreciate what our proud and dedicated generation of true Americans did for our country.
