Garden of the Brave in War: Recollections of Iran
(When Terence O'Donnell, an American who lived in Iran for...)
When Terence O'Donnell, an American who lived in Iran for fifteen years in the 1960s and 1970s, was asked what he was doing there, he replied, "The conviction of all Iranians, of most of my compatriots, and indeed of the Russians, was that I was engaged in intelligence work. I was, and what is more I filed a daily report. My employer was myself and my reports consisted of eight thousand pages of journal. This book was drawn from that material." For ten years, O'Donnell lived on a farm near Shiraz, in southern Iran, where he raised mainly pomegranates, but also quinces, grapes, chickens, and bees. He also made many Iranian friends. His memories of that time have yielded a masterpiece of national portraiture, wonderfully alive to the complexities of the Iranian character-courteous, capricious, deeply religious yet also playful, generous, and poetic. A work of shimmering beauty and sensitivity, Garden of the Brave in War will deepen every reader's understanding of the often elusive country that lies behind the headlines.

Career
He resided in Portland most of his life and worked at the Oregon Historical Society. During the latter part of his life, he divided his time between an apartment on the South Park Blocks in Portland and "Crank's Roost," a home he designed and built on the Washington coast, in the Victorian village of Seaview on the Long Beach Peninsula. O'Donnell lived in Iran from 1957-1971.
He is perhaps best known as the author of the Garden of the Brave in War: Recollections of Iran, which was published in 1980, during the Iran hostage crisis. It is told from a very personal perspective, with observations about daily life and culture in southern Iran.
