The Iran Hostage Crisis and Its Political Ramifications
This chapter examines the profound effects of the Iran hostage crisis on Jimmy Carter's presidency and the subsequent rise of the Republican Party, culminating in Ronald Reagan's election in 1980. It highlights the erosion of public support for Carter and the development of anti-Iran sentiment among Americans, while also connecting these events to historical patterns in U.S. foreign policy.
