From the Back Cover

Trace Stanton is an American working as a Helicopter Maintenance Instructor for an American helicopter company and is assigned to an Iranian Military Helicopter Base in Iran near the Iraq border. This is a true story of what he saw and experienced while living and working in Kermanshah, Iran during the Islamic Revolution in 1978-1979 which deposed the Shah of Iran and led to the capture of the American Embassy and 52 Americans that were held hostage for 444 days. While working with the Iranian soldiers, he had a "box seat" as the soldiers first fought the revolutionaries and then joined them. His eventual escape from Iran is a cautionary tale.
