Captivity, Brutality, and Freedom, Iran Hostage Crisis Part 3
from Radio America News · host Radio America
This coming Monday marks the start of a very dark chapter in American history. On November 4, 1979, Iranians took over the U.S. embassy in Iran. Then a 20-year-old U.S. Marine stationed at the embassy, Kevin Hermening became the youngest American hostage held captive for the next 444 days. In the final installment of his three-part interview with Greg Corombos, Hermening details the anguish inflicted upon the Americans by their Iranian captors, the surprise visitor he received while held captive, and how freedom felt after losing it for more than a year.
