Whirlwind

[Zorro]

I've been on a James Clavell kick lately, and recently completed this last book of his two weeks ago. It's a fictional recounting of a British helicopter operation servicing the oil industry in Iran during the time of the Iranian Revolution and the rise of Khomeini and the mullahs. Like his other books, it's a suspenseful page-turner (and there are a lot of pages, over 1100...) but it seemingly captured the reality of that time and place.

If one has the time, I recommend any of Clavell's works. They are great works of fiction based around historic events primarily around the Far East.
