DESCRIPTION:Author and activist David Harris will be speaking  about his new book, 
 _The_Crisis:_The_President,_the_Prophet,_and_the_Shah--1979_and_the_Coming_of_Militant_Islam_. 
  Harris is a legendary antiwar activist who went to jail for draft 
 resistance in the 1960s. Formerly a contributing editor at the 
 _New_York_Times_Magazine_ and _Rolling_Stone_, he is the author of seven 
 previous books, including _The_League_, _Dreams_Die_Hard_, _The_Last_Stand_ 
 and _Our_War_.  With _The_Crisis_, Harris has written an essential work of 
 modern history that is also a breathtaking narrative of passion, politics, 
 and faith.  For the first time, drawing on unprecedented interviews with 
 American, Iranian, and European participants, an acclaimed historian tells 
 the full story of the 444 days of the Iran hostage crisis.  Harris's 
 gripping narrative races from Washington to Tehran to Paris to Panama, 
 tracking a dying shah, a flailing Carter, an ascending Khomeini, the 
 disastrous Desert One rescue attempt, and the lives of the Americans held 
 in blindfolds amid a revolution like none other.  The crisis was a turning 
 point, the moment when radical Islam first rose up against America – the 
 beginning of a clash that continues to define our times today.   $7 - $15
