From the best-selling author of Black Hawk Down comes a riveting, definitive chronicle of the Iran hostage crisis, America's first battle with militant Islam. On November 4, 1979, a group of radical Islamist students, inspired by the revolutionary Iranian leader Ayatollah Khomeini, stormed the U.S. embassy in Tehran. They took fifty-two Americans hostage, and kept nearly all of them hostage for 444 days. In Guests of the Ayatollah, Mark Bowden tells this sweeping story through the eyes of the hostages, the soldiers in a new special forces unit sent to free them, their radical, na ve captors, and the diplomats working to end the crisis. Bowden takes us inside the hostages' cells and inside the Oval Office for meetings with President Carter and his exhausted team. We travel to international capitals where shadowy figures held clandestine negotiations, and to the deserts of Iran, where a courageous, desperate attempt to rescue the hostages exploded into tragic failure. Bowden dedicated five years to this research, including numerous trips to Iran and countless interviews with those involved on both sides. Guests of the Ayatollah is a detailed, brilliantly re-created, and suspenseful account of a crisis that gripped and ultimately changed the world.Binding Type: Paperback

Heavy and sturdy base

Very attractive and solid. The heavy base keeps the roll in place. Great price, bought a few to have paper towel rolls ready for wet and dirty hands all over the house.

Bamboo Cutting Board Honest Review
Color: Brown, Size: 14.9"L x 0.6"W
After researching until blue in the face, chose this Bamboo cutting board set for it's style and the option of using as serving trays. More important for me was the 3-layer structure, juice groove and piece of mind of clean cutting, no plastic. Upon receiving and cleaning, I applied a coat of Food Grade Mineral Oil for safety. These are boards are not real thick but the quality is there and they look really expensive after the oil bath. 3 different sizes are perfect for my need and they look really expensive. Happy with my purchase.

Nice, sturdy, convenient cutting boards
My daughter and her fiance do a lot of cooking, and really like the quality and sizes of these cutting boards. I got a similar set last year, and I like how they have held up. I also like the holder. Just wash and oil them occasionally and they should last many years.
