On November 4, 1979, Iranian militants stormed the United States Embassy in Tehran and took sixty-six Americans captive. Thus began the Iran Hostage Crisis. This book takes a look at the hostage crisis, examining its lessons for America's contemporary War on Terrorism. It includes fresh insights regarding the central players in the crisis.
