An excellent account of the rescuing of Americans in Iran. The movie was great but, this book gives a little more detail and the movie changed some of the details just a little bit. I loved how you got a little bit of insight into how the CIA works

I saw the movie when it came out and thought it was excellent. I still think that but after reading Argo and learning the back story and all the history I really need to see the movie again. The book is fascinating, especially if you are a lover of history.
