Jack Teller, a new recruit to the recently established Central Intelligence Agency, finds himself in Iran posing as a high-level American oil executive as part of Operation Ajax, the agency's first attempt to overthrow the government of a sovereign nation.

The country is in the grip of a religious revolution, and the streets of the capital city are filled with daily rantings against The Great Satan. Jack's attempt to save one man from Islamic justice -- a man whom he had, at one time, called a friend -- leads him into the heart of an emerging struggle between the West and a new and dangerous ideology"--From publisher description. 650 0 $a Teller, Jack (Fictitious character : Gabbay) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Intelligence officers $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Iran $x History $y Coup d'eÌtat, 1953 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Iran $x History $y Revolution, 1979 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Americans $z Iran $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Spy stories. $2 gsafd 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0911/2008039605-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0911/2008039605-d.html 941 $a 4 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006050429.0 952 $l LEPI975 $d 20180202013333.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418072104.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20090806113132.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6736B70282AA11DE820800E8A7D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IW7Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
