Book Review of the Week

I recently read "On the Wings of Eagles" by Ken Follett. The book held a special focus for me in that one of the characters is the CEO of the company I work for.

This book is an action packed story of the efforts of Ross Perot and some of his top executives to gain the release of two EDS executives being held hostage in an Iranian prision in the 1970's.

Although the plot was often bogged down in political discussion, it was necessary to read through it to understand the Iranian government and the scope of the political problems of the times. There are photos of the adventure in sections of the book.

I really enjoyed the book, though I usually don't read this sort of book.
