All Fall Down: America's Tragic Encounter with Iran (2001) By Gary Sick
 
All Fall Down is the definitive chronicle of America's experience with the Iranian revolution and the hostage crisis of 1978-81. Drawing on internal government documents, it recounts the controversies, decisions and uncertainties that made this a unique chapter in modern American history. From his personal experiences, the author draws revealing portraits of the people who engaged in this test of wills with an Islamic revolutionary regime.
 
A page-one review in the New York Times Book Review praised it as convincing, fair and balanced.
