A few months back as I was coming home from a trip, I stopped into the little bookstore in the Shreveport Airport. I was in need of some reading material and I ran across this little beauty. Guest of the Ayatollah was a narrative of the Iran hostage crisis. I was interested in this book for a couple of different reasons: 1)I want to know more about the history of the Middle East conflict and 2) I was born the day before the hostages were taken. Apparently, my dad would tell people how old I was in days +1 for all 444 days.
I really thought this was a good book to read. It took me a long time to finish it because I only read it during travel and the book was over 700 pages. If you have any interest whatsoever in a very significant moment in our history that still has implications in today's world, I highly recommend it.
