Customer Reviews

Great Historical Perspective

I thought the book covered in excellent detail the events that led to the Islamic takeover in Iran, without making a personal attack on Carter or his administration. He lays out the historical facts and political background of the time period very well. I like a book that does not try to take you to a place, but allows you to get there by yourself. The book lays out the dedication to a policy and theory within the Carter administration that ignored the reality of the political and theological culture in Iran. Carter, like many liberals, set a policy that made him feel good about himself and his administration. It has cost many US lives over the decades since. Pilevsky says what few others are saying, but many have thought it. This "Terrorist Thing" starts with Carter.

Excellent & Factual

Author lays out in detail the story behind the Islamic-Marxist revolution of Iran in 1979. Carter allowed that disaster to take place before his very eyes and now we're paying the costs all over the world. This book is full of details and information. I Loved it. Used it as a good source for my Diplomacy Class 2nd and 3rd major essays. This book is a must read!

BEST BOOK I'VE EVER READ!!

Simply put: the best book I've ever read! Pilevsky brings back the Carter years in full technicolor - the blinders and gloves are off. His writing is smooth, strong and punchy. If this book came out before 2002, Carter might not have won the Nobel Peace price. It's actually that powerful and relevant. I can't wait for Philip Pilevsky's next book!!

A Real Eye Opener!

Unmistakenly, among the most unfortunate series of events which has taken place in the modern era. The book exposes the chilling truth behind the Carter administration's misguided foreign policies which have set the stage for present day terrorism in the world as we now know it. Riveting!

finally the truth comes out!

This book is long overdue as Jimmy Carter has already wreaked havoc. Now the whole world can learn the truth and know where to place the blame for the terrorism plaguing our society. This book is very well-written and interesting to read. I highly recommend it for all truth seekers, both liberal and conservative.
