"Riveting! Characters so authentic, the drama and passions of war and politics so palpable, I couldn't put it down. Never has the world of the Persian Gulf been rendered so real and understandable."

"If this book is read for no other reason, it should be read for its vivid portrayal of the history, the culture,society, politics and challenges of the Arab world. Jo Franklin understands the subtleties of these forces and can write about them better than anyone."
- Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopfff
"THE WING OF THE FALCON is a breathtaking novel in its scope and sweep.The passions of wartime reminiscent of Herman Wouk's "The Winds of War," the exoticism of the Gulf culture and world, at once complex and fascinating, all combined with a techno-thriller aspect worthy of Tom Clancy, make this a truly stunning book."
- Barbara Matusow

"Mesmerizing! A novel, a thriller of the first order. The author knows the Middle East as few do, and tells a story as few can."
- Jody Powell, Press Secy. to US President Carter
"Nobody knows the Middle East--the people, the passions, the politics and culture---like Jo Franklin. Her work with the Special Operations Forces before and during the war proved invaluable."
