Résumé
IRAN Takeover in Tehran: The Inside Story of the 1979 U.S. Embassy Capture. by Massoumeh Ebtekar (as told to Fred A. Reed). Vancouver: Talonbooks, 2000. 243 pages. Appends. to p. 246. Notes to p. 256. $14.95 paper. Reviewed by William J. Daugherty Massoumeh Ebtekar was spokeswoman for the who captured the American Embassy in Tehran in 1979. She claims to seek an alternative view of that event in hope of opening understanding and dialogue between the United States and Iran. She will probably be disappointed, for this work stands little chance of fulfilling her wish, offering little by way of justification that wasn't said 21 years ago by the students. Nor is Ebtekar assisted by her co-author, whose Foreword is so blatantly anti-American that even those inclined towards the Iranian perspective will find it hard to credit. Any value to the book resides in Ebtekar's account of the planning for the takeover and the day-to-day management of the hostages. She states that Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and the clerics were not informed, much less involved, in the initial capture of the embassy, and identifies the student's goals: the breaking of Iranian-American relations, the return of the Shah for trial, and the condemnation of the United States in world opinion for its policies towards Iran. An additional motivation, left unsaid by Ms. Ebtekar, is that the takeover was an attempt to revive an Iranian revolution running out of steam and leaving Iranians frustrated and disappointed over unfulfilled promises of a better life. The embassy capture did rally the Iranian populace initially, but this faded as Iran began to suffer under sanctions levied by much of the world, particularly nations whose help Iran needed the most. This was the first, but not the only, aspect of the takeover that backfired to the detriment of all Iranians. To name two others, it is improbable that the Soviet Union would have invaded Afghanistan or that the Iraqis would have attacked Iran had there remained a formal relationship between the United States and Iran. These two events cost millions of casualties, including hundreds of thousands of Iranians. The students who captured the US Embassy in 1979 bear a direct responsibility for this. Ebtekar shows in numerous examples how, once the takeover was accomplished, this act was transformed into a government-supported violation of international law, and how the students themselves subsequently became de facto agents of the government. The internal chemistry of the student groups involved in the takeover is likewise interesting, if only as a study of group dynamics in abnormal situations. The students established a well-organized bureaucracy that functioned reasonably effectively. This is no small accomplishment in that they had intended to hold the embassy for only a few days, and so had to improvise as time passed without a resolution of the crisis. …

Prédiction machine sur la base complète
Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
