Description
Breaking a long silence, the former president of Iran tells his story. From his early days in Paris as one of Ayatollah Khomeini's closest advisers to his rise to power and fall to exile, Abol Hassan Bani-Sadr was at the eye of the storm. This is an insider's look at the Iranian Revolution, the Teheran embassy hostage crisis and the Iran-Iraq war. It provides perspectives on secret US dealings with Iran.
