Informationen zum Autor Mark Bowden is the bestselling author of Killing Pablo (Atlantic 2002), Finders Keepers (Atlantic 2003), Guests of the Ayatollah (Atlantic 2006) and Black Hawk Down , which was made into a successful film by Ridley Scott. Guests of the Ayatollah is his latest book. He is a national correspondent for the Atlantic Monthly . Klappentext In GUESTS OF THE AYATOLLAH, Mark Bowden tells the story through the eyes of the hostages, the soldiers in a new special forces unit sent to free them, their radical, naïve captors, and the diplomats working to end the crisis. Bowden takes us inside the hostages' cells and inside the Oval Office for meetings with President Carter and his exhausted team. We travel to international capitals where shadowy figures held clandestine negotiations, and to the deserts of Iran, where a courageous, desperate attempt to rescue the hostages exploded into tragic failure. Bowden dedicated five years to this research, including numerous trips to Iran and countless interviews with those involved on both sides. GUESTS OF THE AYATOLLAH is a detailed account of a crisis that gripped and ultimately changed the world. Zusammenfassung A dramatic account of the Iranian hostage crisis that marked the birth of radical Islam, now in paperback: 'This is history as tragedy, written as a thriller by a master storyteller.' Angus Batey, The Times
