After cruising around the world on the Amerigo Vespucci he extended his graduate studies, as an Iranian Naval officer, at the prestigious United States Naval postgraduate school in Monterey, California.Upon completing his education and being honored with membership in the selective Sigma Xi society, he returned to Iran. There he felt privileged to be appointed to help spearhead the development and curriculum planning of the largest Naval training facility his country had ever seen. The close assistance of the United States Navy made it possible to expedite the completion of this masterpiece that later, sadly, became Ayatollah Khomeini's largest prison. In spite of Mr. Bakh's hard work and dedication to his country, his disenchantment with the radical Muslim religion marked his destiny. His riveting escape from Khomeini's angry henchmen challenged his ingenuity to survive during an intense situation that escalated into a gripping flight from Tehran, and a heartbreaking farewell to a loving family. Experience gives this Persian gentleman the credibility to critique the problematic religious and political situation in today's Middle East.
