Code Word: Persepolis

Third in the Code Word series, Code Word: Persepolis anticipates headlines as Iran's uneasy neighbors maneuver to resist a new era of Persian dominance while America and China carry their own rivalry to the region. It sweeps from fighter cockpits to the Situation Room to Capitol Hill, from Washington to Tel Aviv to Tehran, pulling readers into the lives and struggles of warriors and leaders. Readers pull Gs in the deadly swirl of aerial combat, sweat alongside the captain during a dangerous feint and parry between Iranian missile boats and an American destroyer, and experience a reckoning between two grizzled warriors facing both each other and the march of time.
