Requests:  0 Summary:  The world watched with fear in November 1979, when Iranian students infiltrated the American embassy in Tehran. What began as a swift and seemingly short-lived takeover evolved into a crisis that would see fifty-four embassy personnel held hostage, most for 444 days. As Tehran exploded in a revolution, six American diplomats escaped. For three months, Ken Taylor, the Canadian ambassador to Iran, concealed them, always afraid that the revolutionary government would find out. Until now, the true story behind Taylor's involvement in the escape and the Eagle Claw commando raid has remained classified. This book takes us back to a major historical flashpoint and unfolds a story that brings a new understanding of the strained relationship between the United States and Iran.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 955.054 Wr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 955.054 Wr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 955.054 Wr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 955.054 Wr Checked In Add Copy to MyList
