Publisher Description
Based on historic events, and frighteningly relevant to today's headlines -- a taut thriller about one American diplomat’s year of living dangerously in Tehran in the days leading up to the Iranian Revolution …
In the style of Alan Furst, this suspenseful thriller -- based on real events -- places an idealistic American diplomat in a turbulent, US-hating Tehran in the days leading up to the Iranian Revolution. Backed by the CIA, and trailed by a beautiful and engaging French journalist he suspects is a spy, David Weiseman's mission is to ease the Shah of Iran out of power and find the best alternative between the military, religious extremists, and the political ruling class -- many of whom are simultaneously trying to kill him.

Iran Up Close and Personal
This book was spot on in many ways for me. I happened to be a soldier that spent time in Tehran during this period. I was able to feel and identify with some of the events and things that happened during this period. Although, I am limited on my insight and perspective. This book brought to life what was really going on from a diplomatic and insiders view. I would love to sit down and talk to the author, Phillip Kaplan one day.
