The story of this book is a political deception set in 1984. Russia conspires to trick America into de-stabilizing the Middle East to gain control of the oil. General Yuri Solkov is sent on a top-secret mission to deliver a proposal to the United States government. Blinded by the billions of dollars they are going to make, the United States government accepts the proposal. It is imperative to the Soviet Union that America accepts the proposal, because this will allow them to take over the Straits of Hormuz (the main shipping channel for oil from the Middle East). The President of the United States doesn't realize he is having a nervous breakdown. He becomes completely irrational and the decisions he makes are dangerous for the country and the world. Russia double crosses the United States of America and Iran. The United States government double crosses the Middle East, Britain, the EEC, and its own people.
