A highly collectible first edition hardcover of Whirlwind, flat-signed by James Clavell, author of the internationally bestselling Asian Saga series (Shōgun, Tai-Pan, King Rat). Published in 1986 by William Morrow & Co., this epic novel continues Clavell’s sweeping historical narratives with his trademark attention to cultural nuance, political tension, and rich character development.

Set in Iran in 1979, Whirlwind follows a group of Western helicopter pilots caught in the chaos and danger of the Iranian Revolution, as they try to protect their crews, families, and principles in the face of growing instability.
