"This is probably the most chilling espionage adventure of the Cold War...That it went down in the Middle East made it more deadly. The Major's imprisonment and escape are not recorded anywhere." --William Colby, CIA

During the Cold War, the U.S. put into action a plan to train American officers in the geopolitics of world affairs. Major Bo is assigned to study at the American University in Beruit, Lebanon. During this time, Bo accepts an assignment to be dropped in Iraq to provide intelligence on the north Iraq airfields. At the same time, the Revolutionary Guard of Iraq has assumed power, & the king has been overthrown. As a tight grip is placed upon the country, military personnel are on the hunt for Israeli & foreign spies. The pursuit of Major Bo begins as he's gathering recognizance on the airfield at Mosul, & continues as he floats the Tigris River with a trading family, in an attempt to make his way to friendly Iran. When Major Bo meets Arab Warlord Captain Kabir along the way, the captain insists that Bo join him. Tricked, Bo becomes a prisoner at the historic Zagros Pit Prison, a place more commonly known as the "Pit of Forgotten Men". Here, political & religious figures are held without trial. Unwilling to give up, Bo adapts to the life of a captive, hoping the U.S. can negotiate for his release.
