Iran Hostage Crisis Diary - Context of the Diary
Channel: teachinghistoryorg
Date: 2012-03-15

Diaries and other personal accounts give an individual view of historical events, but they can only be understood in context. Peter Hahn describes the events of the Iran Hostage Crisis, and compares and contrasts them with the experiences in the diary of Robert Ode, a retired Foreign Service Officer taken hostage while on temporary service in Iran.
