Publisher's Synopsis
"The Hypocrites" is a narrative of the author's experiences in Iran along in relation to the historical impact of actions by the CIA and Mossad on the lives of Iranians. The reader will understand that people of other countries are not so different than their own country. There are the plots, love of family, lust, treason, lives, deaths, violence, and always the hope for a better future. The Islamic philosophy is of the idea that all men regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, or political opinions that are perceived as confrontational today are what obscures the basic character of people all over the world. How this affects people of Iran, Yemen, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Iraq, India, the USA, and the British Empire are as diverse as can be imagined. How do Persians (Iranians) view the English to Americans? How was Iran controlled by the British but became allied in mind with the Germans who the British viewed as the enemy but Iran considered Germans friends. How did the older generation love the French and then the Americans as the people they wanted to emulate? While the Young Shah had to compromise with the foreign influences that wanted to exploit Iran, he also improved the university education, brought in manufacturing technology that educated hundreds of thousands and that made an impact where other Islamic nations envied. Yet the Shah was treated as a weakling by CIA Kermit Roosevelt who called him a sparrow when he should have been an eagle. As James McMartin loses his beloved Zarin to leukemia, the Shah loses his life as well. Where the Shah was once welcomed he becomes the Pariah and shunned by the West but not by Sadat of Egypt or the King of Morocco. While the US kept him at arms distance, it sought to provide him with safe haven in Panama where the dictator Torrijos became infatuated with the Shahness. He is later killed by the CIA for providing arms to the Sandinista democratic government of Nicaragua and not because Torrijos wife was the daughter of a wealthy New York Jew as the Mossad created the war in Nicaragua. Nothing is simple and there are the actions of the head of the Arab world which come from former CIA counter-intelligence people that make Black Ops and people are expendable as blood must be shed to make it believable. From two innocent French girls to workers in the Bazaar, they will lose their lives and no one knows the truth about how they were sacrificed. James McMartin learns about Islam and its real meaning of brotherhood. He learns how the Iranian people feel and love yet the author found no hate but there would be anger. Iran was an empire that had Shia and Sunni Muslims, Christians, Zorastrians, Armenians, Balushis, Arab, Turkmen, Uzbekis, as well as Persian. James finds himself in Khuzestan and the sugar cane plantation is sitting on top of the ancient city of Suza where the Prophet Daniel is buried and his body is kept in a small mosque in the village of Shush (Suza) where it is honored by Muslims who do not allow Christians or Jews to enter the Mosque. There is the Islamic Haj to Mecca (Makka) that is shown and rationality of Islam that shows devotion to the One and Only God. Was the famed Babylon the "Door to Allah" (Bab Allah)? The Talmud comes from the Jews in Babylon that condemns this city built on the Euphrates River that remains a mystery and marvel today. When Alexander the Great insisted the ruins he ordered it to be rebuilt. But Suza could not be rebuilt as its conqueror ordered salt to be sown over the land so it could never be inhabited again. Although the book is centered on Iran from 1958 to 1988, there is a small bit of ancient history included and ten pages of news from the New York Times Index to correlate everything as based on what is accepted as factual.
