Item Description
James Clavel, with his lengthy books and complex plots could have set the standard to which Tom Clancy later took to the next level.
"Whirlwind" is set in February 1979, the time of the Iranian revolution.
As Iran is in a life and death struggle after the Shah has left, a British helicopter company is secretly controlled by the Noble House of Hong Cong. The members of the company question how much longer they will be able to operate their bases throughout the land.
In Aberdeen, Andrew Gavallan and Linbar Struan discuss the direction of the Noble House and what should be the proper course of management. In their discussions, it is easy to see that the two men dispise each other.
The novel could well be a text book on the Iranian revolution. However, like most of the author's books, strick adherence to historical facts are not always adhered to.
Even back in 1979, the reader can observe the conflict Iranians had with the Shiites and Sunnis as well as their distrust and dislike for outsiders such as the Americans, Canadians and British who were looking after their oil interests in that country at that time.
