Review of The Crisis: The President, the Prophet, and the Shah-1979 and the Coming of Militant Islam (Hardcover)

The Crisis is a must read for anyone interested in the situation in the Middle East today.David Harris has written an insightful, informative book on the three leaders who were involved in the Iranian hostage take-over.It is the best written book I have read on the subject.The book isclearly written and with such sensitivity that I didn't want to put it down.By focusing in on the personalities of President Carter, the Ayatollah Khomeinni and the Shah of Iran, I came away with a much better understanding of the three men and the incredible mistakes and misunderstandings that can happen in the world of international politics.Harris writes with a dramatic and visual flare that makes it a pleasure to read.
