How the CIA and Hollywood Pulled Off the Most Audacious Rescue in History
Aug 25, 2017pierce_b rated this title 3 out of 5 stars
I watched the movie and was fascinated that a plan so outlandish actually worked. You wouldn't have believed it otherwise. The main story of getting the group at the Embassy out of Iran didn't happen until the last quarter of the book, I think the rescue shouldve been expanded more in the book so I'm only giving the book three stars. One commentary below questioned the group at the Embassy drinking a lot, the Canadian Embassy had lots of liquer already there and they wanted to use it up before they left. Also the group didn't have anything to do for weeks and weeks on end i could see drinking becoming a routine part of the day. Ten grand to rescue 6 hostages is money well spent even for that day. Damn Obama gave Iran a lot more when he was in office.
