    How interesting.
    I'm reading Ken Follett's non-fiction novel "On Wings of Eagles."

    On the inside cover-sheet:

    "There were TWO major American rescue efforts in Iran.
    One failed--and made grim headlines.
    The other succeeded--and inspired Ken Follett to write his greatest thriller."

    Ross Perot, head of EDS Electronic Data Systems, had EDS offices and personnel in Iran helping them build-up an Iranian social security administration under the Shah, when the country underwent the revolution.
    Ross got his people out.

    Interesting read so far.
