With this book Clavell was able to give you a good front seat view of the revolution in Iran. To accomplish this feat Clavell
uses helicopter pilots of American,British,Canadian,and Finnish
backgrounds who are all stationed in Iran at the outbreak of
the Iranian revolution. You live with this crew while they worry
about getting out of Iran alive and back to their homes. You are
also shown the Iranian view of the revolution and the effects
that it will have on Iran. Despite being a long book(1100 pages)
this book will hold your interest from beginning until the end.
This book will give you a good insight into the Iranian revolution. Read it. It is interesting.
