Acerca de esta escucha
Inspired by true events. A historically accurate work of fiction. This is the first book in the Zuckerman's 2nd trilogy.
During the turbulent late 1950s (Eisenhower Era), the New Sentinels are called upon to reveal a hidden plot (Operation Ajax) to topple Iran's Parliamentary Government, reinstate the exiled Shah, and take over Iran's oil industry, the fourth-largest in the world.
When British and American oil interests secretly orchestrate a coup to seize control of Iran's oil fields in 1953, a small group of humanitarian visionaries and conscientious allies must conduct a high-stakes underground operation to protect a utopian community of farmers and foil the world powers' greedy ambitions.
WHAT IS ONE'S DUTY TO THE GREATER GOOD?
If you're born into the power, resources, and ability to fight evil in the world, is it your responsibility to do so?
The easy answer seems to be, yes... but what if you knew it would cost you your family? If you knew you would always live in fear? If it would more likely cost you your life?
This is the central thematic question at the heart of Sentinels interwoven into the subtext throughout the series.
Our heroes will struggle with their call to duty, have their resolve galvanized, and face uncertainty in their choices, ultimately finding an answer to this question in the end.

The novel explores the ethical question: What is one’s duty to the greater good? It challenges readers to consider whether those born into power and resources have a responsibility to fight evil, even at great personal cost. The Sentinels face the potential loss of family, constant fear, and the risk of death as they navigate this moral landscape.
Zuckerman excels in blending historical accuracy with engaging fiction. The characters are well-developed, and the story maintains a good pace, keeping readers invested without overwhelming them with details. The narrator’s voice adds depth, guiding us through the intricate plot.
The central theme of duty versus personal sacrifice resonates throughout the series. The heroes’ journey reflects the struggles of many who are called to serve a greater cause. Their resolve is tested, their convictions solidified, and amidst uncertainty, they seek answers to the ethical dilemmas posed by their mission.
In conclusion, “Pushing Back the Desert: Operation Ajax” is more than a historical novel; it is a reflection on the responsibilities of those with the power to effect change. Through its engaging storyline and richly developed characters, the book offers a poignant commentary on the eternal battle between the pursuit of power and the quest for the greater good.
An interesting historical novel!
