This case examines the captivity of the U.S. diplomatic personnel in the U.S. embassy in Tehran in November 1979 that led to a 444 day crisis. This case traces the evolution of the Carter administration's choices for dealing with the situation and the dilemmas of decisionmaking under crisis conditions. The chosen path that led to the military attempt to rescue the hostages encourages consideration of the usefulness of the rational, psychological, and bureaucratic politics models of foreign policy formulation and implementation.
