About the author
David Lee Corley
50 books47 followersI am a Hollywood screenwriter turned novelist. I am also a nomad.
Four years ago, I sold or gave away just about everything I owned and set myself adrift in the world. I lived out of my backpack and circumnavigated the earth three times. My journey has changed me and I am strangely unafraid. I have no plans to end my quest to see far corners of our planet. I figure life will take care of itself.
It has been a wild ride. I search for great stories and characters as I travel, many of which end up in my novels. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed writing them.
I am still a nomad.

Tom Coyle is an American pilot living in Paris, France with his girlfriend, Brigitte Friang. Brigitte is a world-famous reporter who covered the Battle of Dien Bien Phu jumping in battle with French paratroopers and writing about the heroism on both sides. She covers the uprising in French Algeria and now takes on the job of covering the invasion of Egypt by Israeli, British, and French forces.
When Egyptian President Abdel Nasser assumes control of the Suez Canal, the British, French, and Israeli governments come up with a plan to wrest the canal back in their hands, but not without risk. Brigitte finds herself in the heat of the conflict, and Coyle is determined to protect her even if it means costing his life. As battle lines are drawn in the sands of Egypt and Sinai deserts, Tom Coyle is about to learn how far he will go to protect the woman he loves.
This is Book 3 in the Airmen Series and I've enjoyed them thus far. I'm a former paratrooper of the 82nd Airborne Division and was drawn to this series because of the connection the author has created in his story. Corley has done extensive research combining fictional characters in a non-fiction event that changed the course of our world. His in-depth insight provides readers and exciting tale of men and women in action, in love, and fighting against all odds for survival.
I highly recommend this series! I'm looking forward to Book 4 'Operation Musketeer'

My Review
This book is about the beginning of the War with Egypt regarding the Suez Canal involving Israel, France and England. It continues with characters from Corley's previous book in the Airmen Series. I liked how it brings this conflict alive yet is historically accurate.
I could not put this book down.

A history event described in fiction
I am old enough to have known when his action was taking place, this story although written as fiction, helped give a much fuller picture of the events.

Best of the series by far
If you like historical fiction then you should love this. Corley’s style of writing will keep you on the edge of your seats and at the same time keep you in the minds of the characters.

Corley has written another international political thriller in his Airmen Series, this time continuing with the 1956 unrest in the Middle East and control of the Suez Canal. The Suez Crisis, or the Second Arab–Israeli War, also called the tripartite aggression in the Arab world and Sinai War in Israel, was the invasion of Egypt in late 1956 by Israel, followed by Britain and France. It was a conspiracy (Sévres Protocol): Their aim was to regain Western control of the Suez Canal and remove Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser, who had just nationalized the canal. After the fighting had started, political pressure from the United States, the Soviet Union and the United Nations brought the war to an end. For those who love military history, Corley’s Airmen Series offer insights into important time periods often ignored by mainstream historians. “Sévres Protocol” does an excellent job explaining how the Suez Crisis and the Second Arab-Israeli War came about. It’s an enjoyable, good read.
