本文作者乔丹生于1944年,年轻时即跟随卡特从事政治活动,成为卡特最亲密的心腹之一。1976年为卡特竞选总统草拟竞选纲领,并任竞选运动的经理人。1977年任卡特总统的助理和首席政治顾问。1979年任白宫办公厅主任。他所写的《危机》一书,便是他供职白宫时期的回忆录。该书尚未出版。美国《新闻周刊》抢先摘录其中的章节,分两期刊登。这里发表的是第一期中的一部分,所用标题是原书的副题,译文略有删节。人们记得,1979年初,伊朗国王巴列维流亡国外,先避难于墨西哥,后到美国治病。伊朗当局因卡特拒绝引渡国王,乃扣押美国驻德黑兰使馆全体人员为人质。卡特为摆脱人质危机,要国王回墨西哥,后者不愿,乃让国王移居巴拿马。下面的文章记述了为什么国王非去巴拿马不可,乔丹如何充当卡特的特使去进行这一秘密使命,国王在怎样的情况下飞往巴拿马,等等。因作者是当事人,对政界上层人物的活动写得较生动。此文有助于读者了解美国处理人质问题的一些历史情节。
