As Pan American World Airways teetered on bankruptcy, could the shah of Iran provide the capital to restore it to solvency? Or would his financial bailout endanger the lives of Pan Am’s executives because a religious revolution is brewing?
The Plum Thief is the turbulent story of activists who forged a new government in the 1970s by battling Western businessmen in their efforts to topple the shah of Iran. Told from the little guy’s point of view, here’s a tale of indoctrination, as characters in The Plum Thief perform increasingly violent historic events, where heady success is achieved only through peril and risk of death. It’s the story of secret police, clerics with weapons, oil bureaucrats, and the US Congress. It poses the lingering question: Can the rules of faith serve as the rules of law?
The Plum Thief reveals author James Roman’s personal involvement with Iran’s religious revolution, also including such recognizable names as Presidents Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter, David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, Ayatollah Khomeini, and more. Here is historic fact, disclosing how Iran, once America’s steadfast ally, evolved in this new world order.
