On November 4, 1979, Americans were shocked to learn that the American embassy in Iran had been attacked, and 70 hostages had been taken, with 63 of them being Americans. For the first time, U.S. diplomats were bound and blindfolded and paraded in front of television cameras.
This double-section report covers the timeline from the time the hostages were taken to the point when an agreement was reached and the release of the hostages was arranged. There are articles about the rescue attempt, the Algerians who helped with negotiations, individual hostages, an outline of the agreement, the political ramifications, and more. Includes a photo of each hostage being released.
