About this listen

When two of his American employees were held hostage in a heavily guarded prison fortress in Iran, one man took matters into his own hands: American businessman H. Ross Perot. His team consisted of a group of volunteers from the executive ranks of his corporation, hand-picked and trained by a retired Green Beret officer. To free the imprisoned Americans, they would face incalculable odds on a mission that only true heroes would have dared.

What good is an Embassy?

Full of suspense. Who can be trusted?
Caution needs to be taken at all times when your employer posts you in a country where turmoil is a daily way of life.

Historical

Having lived during time period and knowing a major character, I enjoyed reading about an unknown episode in a country still heavy involved in US politics.

far too repetitive

it started slow. Too much detail unrelated to story. Found it hard to pay attention
