America's Iran: Injury and Catharsis

by Christos P. Ioannides

Provides an original account of U.S.-Iranian relations during their latest and most dramatic phase, the Shah's fall and the hostage crisis. The author shows that the hostage crisis was brought about by the convergence of two major President Carter's contradictory policies toward revolutionary Iran, and a power struggle between moderates and extremists in Tehran.
