Na krilima orlova

Na krilima orlova

Ken Follett

A romanticized chronicle of the arrest of two American businessmen in Tehran shortly before the fall of the Shah and Khomeini's rise to power.

The plot follows the dramatic arrest and kidnapping of two American businessmen in Tehran shortly before the fall of the Shah and the rise of Khomeini to power in 1979. Follett faithfully reconstructs the chronology of events, introducing readers to the tense atmosphere of political turmoil, popular hatred of Americans and corruption within the Shah's regime. The book describes in detail the organization of a daring rescue mission led by Colonel Arthur Simons, hired by Ross Perot, the owner of the EDS company, whose employees were being held captive. Through authentic dialogues, which have been reconstructed and verified by participants in the events, Follett creates a compelling story of courage, strategy and survival in extreme circumstances. This is not fiction, but a documentary work that combines the tension of a thriller with historical accuracy.
