One family's journey through the turmoil of the 1978 revolution, when the Ayatollah Khomeini came to power in Iran, and their escape over the mountains to Turkey, and ultimately to Australia. Banafsheh is eight when the revolution begins in Iran. At first her family are jubilant about the collapse of the Shah's rule and the return of Ayatollah Khomeini, but they quickly realise that Iran has traded one dictator for another, more ruthless, ruler. Banafsheh's parents, Kamal and Nina, struggle with the harsh laws of the new revolutionary Iran. Khomeini's revolutionary guard, the Komiteh, patrol the streets, enforcing Islamic codes of dress and behaviour, and dispatching harsh justice to perceived enemies of the revolution. They drag Nina's father in for questioning, interrogate Nina and put Kamal on a stop-list, so he is unable to leave the country. Fearing for the safety of their two children, Kamal and Nina decide the family must flee their beloved country, leaving behind their extended family and friends. But the only way of escape is to take the dangerous route across the Turkish mountains.

The world watched with fear in November 1979, when Iranian students infiltrated and occupied the American embassy in Tehran. As the city exploded in a fury of revolution, few knew about the six American embassy staff who escaped into hiding. For three months, Ken Taylor, the Canadian ambassador to Iran—along with his wife and embassy staffers—concealed the Americans in their homes, terrified that Ayatollah Khomeini would find out and exact deadly consequences. January 28, 2010, marks the 30th anniversary of an event that stunned the world, when Ken Taylor masterminded the exfiltration of the six diplomats from Tehran. Americans were held in thrall as Ted Koppel updated the nation on the fate of its hostages and the Canadians orchestrated an intrepid escape. Americans celebrated in the streets across the nation, raising banners that read “Thank you, Canada!” In Our Man in Tehran, Robert Wright, author of the award-winning national bestseller Three Nights in Havana, tells the story behind a major historical flashpoint, a story of cloak-and-dagger intrigue, the stuff of John le Carré and Frederick Forsyth made real.

Escape From Iran is just the thing to help you chase those Islamophobic blues away. The adventures of Ara Vartan, a California stoner musician trapped in Iran in the midst of its 1979-80 revolution, will blow your mind. We first encounter Ara in a remote Kurdish Mountain village where he is studying Iranian music. When the revolution comes to the village, Ara runs for his life. On a bus rushing back to the US Embassy in Tehran he meets Kereshmae Nasraddin, a modern Iranian woman on her way to join a counter-revolutionary guerrilla group and demonstrate against the new government. Thrown together by fate, then captured after curfew, they are separated and subject to execution. While waiting for death, Ara encounters his old Berkeley friend, Dr. Mostafa Bazari, a pillar of the revolution, who fights to save their lives. Devilishly plotted, Ara barely gets out of one terrifying episode before he finds himself thrust into another even more mind-boggling event. Before we’re done we have been introduced to many elements of Iranian society which, like a kaleidoscope, helps us to understand so much about the revolution, its necessity, and the hopes and fears of Iranians with regard to it. Escape From Iran is a devastating revelation of how the Iranian revolution was experienced by Iranians of different walks of life. Although fiction, it reveals an unexpectedly complex historical understanding of the period. —Edmund Burke, Emeritus Professor of Middle East History University of California, Santa Cruz

For the true story behind Argo, read Our Man in Tehran The world watched with fear in November 1979, when Iranian students infiltrated and occupied the American embassy in Tehran. The Americans were caught entirely by surprise, and what began as a swift and seemingly short-lived takeover evolved into a crisis that would see fifty four embassy personnel held hostage, most for 444 days. As Tehran exploded in a fury of revolution, six American diplomats secretly escaped. For three months, Ken Taylor, the Canadian ambassador to Iran—along with his wife and embassy staffers—concealed the Americans in their homes, always with the prospect that the revolutionary government of Ayatollah Khomeini would exact deadly consequences. The United States found itself handcuffed by a fractured, fundamentalist government it could not understand and had completely underestimated. With limited intelligence resources available on the ground and anti-American sentiment growing, President Carter turned to Taylor to work with the CIA in developing their exfiltration plans. Until now, the true story behind Taylor’s involvement in the escape of the six diplomats and the Eagle Claw commando raid has remained classified. In Our Man in Tehran, Robert Wright takes us back to a major historical flashpoint and unfolds a story of cloak-and-dagger intrigue that brings a new understanding of the strained relationship between the Unites States and Iran. With the world once again focused on these two countries, this book is the stuff of John le Carré and Daniel Silva made real.

"Escaping Iran is a first-person account of a daring CIA operation to extricate six American diplomats caught up in the 1979 Iranian revolution. With their comrades held hostage at the embassy compound, the author and five others managed to slip away and find refuge with the staff of the Canadian embassy, where they became known in communications with Ottawa and Washington as the houseguests. The Hollywood-based escape plan, the CIA's best bad idea, has become famous as the subject of the 2013 Oscar best picture Argo. The author provides an insider's perspective on the true details of the plan, but also focuses critical attention on the courage, ingenuity, and genuine hospitality of the Canadians. In addition to hiding them for three months, the Canadians provided the all-important Canadian passports, and ultimately made the rescue possible. The book summarizes the background to the attack on the US embassy, providing an up-close description of life in revolutionary Iran prior to the takeover. It discusses the errors and misjudgments that led to the crisis, as well as the aspects of the history of US-Iran relations that served to make the US the "great Satan" in the eyes of many Iranians. This is a thoroughly revised and expanded version of the author's previous book, The Houseguests, containing much new information." -- Publisher description.
