"A breathtakingly compelling adventure thriller." -- Pittsburgh Press

"Whirlwind is a classic for our time." -- Chicago Sun-Times

This book is a very timely description of the current Mid-east situation and helps explain why our situation there is as it is. It describes the tribalism, religious fanaticism and curruption present in Iraq right now (although Whirlwind takes place in Iran).
