The Wing of the FalconThe Wing of the Falcon is a war story, a high-tech espionage thriller and love story set during the Persian Gulf War. The clashing of Western politics with the exotic world of the Middle East, and the terrors of international intrigue and reconnaissance, are blended into an eye-opening, cleverly disguised story of the terrifying events leading up to the Gulf Conflict, and just how shockingly close the Allies came to losing the war before it even began. |
