'He brought us back alive': A former hostage remembers Jimmy Carter
Briefly

I sincerely believe that he saved our lives. He sacrificed his presidency and worked assiduously for those 444 days to make our freedom the uppermost in his mind.
He carried the photo of your children while you were in captivity, being held hostage. It was a personal connection that underscored the weight of the crisis for him.
I felt that there was no other alternative. Yes, there could have been military action against Iran, but I think that would have been taken out on us.
