With an impressively broad range of perspectives, Kopple crafts a riveting, comprehensive, moment-by-moment exploration of the failed U.S. military attempt to end the Iran hostage crisis during the summer before the Carter/Reagan election. An important addition to our understanding of this pivotal chapter in US history.
