Takeover in Tehran: The Inside Story of the 1979 U. S. Embassy Capture Book

I think this is an informative book . It gave me a different perspective of international affairs and the role of our government in global developments. I like her way of describing the life of the students and hostages together and the mentality of both. This book tells us that what we have learned about Iran and their Islamic revolution is very different from the perspective that Iranians themselves have. Massoumeh has much to say when it comes to understanding the reasons behind so much anti American sentiments and anger in Iran. I did not know that our government has been involved so deeply in the affairs of other nations and how they have ruined the livelihoods and future of other peoples. I see things now in a different light and I hope other American citizens would take time to read about this important event.
After reading Takeover in Tehran I learned that many professors of international relations are now advising their students to read this book and to discuss its different view point.
