This is the true story of Perot’s rescue of the hostages in Iraq. It was as good as a novel It displays Follwtte’s great story telling ability.
Ken Follett became one of my favorite authors after reading this book. Now I read everything he writes. He is one of the best story tellers in the business. After you read this, begin reading the Pillars of the Earth series. It’s an amazing story.
Not recommended. With all respect to Ken Follett, who has meticulously researched this true story, the writing is pedestrian at best and the book often reads like a paid advertisement. Which I suspect it is.
One of my all time favorites. Read On the Wings of Eagles twice and loved it both times. Couldn’t put it down.
Great read and true story.
As always, I love any Ken Follett book. During my career, I actually worked for Ross Perot and Ken brought this to life as it happened.
He tells great stories.
Read way back. Got me started on Ken Follett. A heroic tale.
Great book
Interesting
OH MY GOSH – I never knew this part of American history and how informative. To think this preceded the US Embassy being taken hostage in Iran. Need to read instantly as it explains how the middle eastern world works. Loved every chapter. Easy read and extremely informative. Again another great read by the author.
I read every Ken Follet book.
Follett is one of a kind. Great storyteller
I absolutely loved this book. It told of a man’s loyalty to his employees, something you don’t find every day. The characters were so believable and so compassionate to the suffering of the kidnapped men. I was so happy with the fact that they got the kidnapped men and brought them back to their families.
Great historical fiction
I felt it was one of the books I have read this year. He’s a great writer that can tell a great story.
