“David Burnett’s magnificent photographic record of the revolution reminds us, thirty years later, of what my father told me: that nothing would be the same again. The modern Islamic revolution has since inspired millions around the world. It has antagonized millions of others. Thirty years after the Islamic Republic of Iran took American diplomats hostage for 444 days, relations between Iran and the U.S. remain ruptured. Today, the need to repair that relationship has never been greater.”
