Last Flight from Iran

Rating:
Summary: The Iranian Revolution with flair!
Review: I loved this book. Wonderful humor. I literally laughed out loud at many, many points in the book. It was really interesting to see Robin Sterling's love and compassion for the individual people she met in Iran as well as her details of the compassion individual Iranians had for the Americans in Iran at the time of the revolution. AS the other reviewer did, I felt as if I were reliving those days but with a lot more insight into Iran, her people, and why the center did not hold. I'd love to see more by Robin or Martie Sterling and I'd love to see this book reprinted given recent events. Wonder what R. Sterling's up to these days?

Summary: Brought it all back
Review: I was in Iran before and during the Revolution. I remember so well the blackouts, the strikes, the creeping zaniness of people you thought you knew well. This book brings it all back. Wonderful book.

Summary: Tears and Laughter in the 1979 Iranian Revolution
Review: Robin Sterling's vivid diary of the last days of the fall of the Shah held me from the first page until the last when she was boarding the bus to be evacuated. I felt I was following those intense events again, this time from inside Iran, not just from the media view. Her love for the people she met before the craziness took over is evident throughout. This should be reprinted --everyone needs a glimpse of the Islamic world that exists below the media hype that passes today for information.
