On November 4, 1979, after the Islamic Revolution, members of the Muslim Students Organization stormed the US Embassy in Iran and took 66 American diplomats hostage. The government of Ayatollah Khomeini strongly supported the actions of its citizens, who demanded the extradition of the former Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who had fled to New York, in exchange for the Americans. For 444 days, millions of people around the world followed the developments of the Iran-US conflict with rapt attention. CIA attempts to free the hostages by force failed, and only on the day of Ronald Reagan's inauguration, January 20, 1981, did Tehran voluntarily agree to return the diplomats. This book, written by renowned Soviet Iranologist S. L. Agayev, offers a popular account of this long saga. The reader is presented with a broad panorama of world events, showing how the United States, at the turn of the 1970s and 1980s, made the transition from a policy of détente to international confrontation.
