Inscription reads To Richard + Maryetta With enormous love for all of the years we've had together! Jo. Millimeter Magazine named writer-producer-director Jo Franklin :One of the Top 50 Film P…roducers in the U.S." Following her work as Senior Washington Producer of the MacNeil-Lehrer Report, Ms. Franklin produced and directed The Middle East Trilogy, a unique history-making series that aired to rave critical reviews, unprecedented audience numbers, and repeated worldwide broadcasts. Her eight films have one numerous awards including an Emmy nomination. Throughout Operation Desert Storm, The Middle East Trilogy was used by General Norman Schwarzkopf, the U.S> State and Defense Departments, and the military to train their personnel for deployment to the Persian Gulf. In an unusual move, the U.S> Military also requested that Ms. Franklin work personally with the Special Operations Forces during the Gulf War--a request she honored and which ultimately became the heart of her novel The Wing of The Falcon. The Wing of the Falcon is a war story, a high-tech espionage thriller and love story set during the Persian Gulf War. The clashing of Western politics with the exotic world of the Middle East, and the terrors of international intrigue and reconnaissance, are blended into an eye-opening, cleverly disguised story of the terrifying events leading up to the Gulf Conflict, and just how shockingly close the Allies came to losing the war before it even began. A documentary film producer's first novel presents the events preceding the Gulf War with Arab woman playing a decisive role. With Saddam amassing troops for a Kuwait invasion, old CIA hand Ray Holt summons Elaine Landon, a comely widow, to Riyadh, where she's asked to dig out a fundamentalist mole who's keeping Baghdad supplied with secrets from the US and Saudi high commands. Arriving with Elaine is Naila al Saud, a member of the kingdom's ruling class who, trained as a physician in America, is returning at the behest of her surly brother Musaid to marry a man she's never met. Meanwhile, Tarek al Saud (Saudi intelligence chief, Ray's close ally, and Naila's brother-in-law) has been working assiduously to unmask the renegade royal and also to convince King Fahd to allow UN/US forces on Saudi soil. After Iraq sacks Kuwait, the monarch finally assents to operation Desert Shield, but Ray & Co. still can't identify the turncoat who's raising merry hell with the military buildup. In desperation, Tarek recruits Naila to penetrate the fifth-column whose zealots could deliver oil-rich Saudi Arabia to Saddam once the shooting starts. He also enlists the aid of Bedouins who keep to the old ways. While Naila winds up in mortal peril in Mecca during the pilgrimage season, she's able to provide a key to the high-tech puzzle. Tarek rescues her in the nick and foils the conspirators, permitting an anxious Schwarzkopf to launch Desert Storm. A mix of fact and fancy. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].
