Writing a new chapter

When Iranian students took the us embassy in Tehran in 1979, few could imagine the hostage crisis would last 444 days and would bring down the us administration. The embassy seizure and the eventual release of the 66 hostages makes for an epic tale, so perhaps it's not all that surprising that a new book on the crisis by Black Hawk Down author Mark Bowden took five years of research and writing. What's less expected is that it was undertaken with the help of a doc prodco.
