At the height of the Arab oil embargo the price of oil was over $50 per barrel. The Alamo, an American-owned tanker with 500,000 tons of Iranian crude went aground off the Normandy Coast en route to Rotterdam. The English economy was on the ropes, and the Brits courted the deep pockets of the oil-rich Arabs. The House of Lloyds struggled to keep up a stiff financial upper lip, as it rotted from greed. American intelligence, accustomed to leaning on the British, was now expected to lead the New World Order. Hoping to orchestrate public opinion on the eve of the Israeli-Egyptian Peace Accord, the Mossad captured the mastermind of the Munich Olympic Massacre of 16 Israeli athletes and sent him to The Hague. It was no coincidence that he was aboard the Alamo. The power struggle in the Mideast was escalating, and the friendly government of Iran fell under the rising tide of Islamic fundamentalism. Jihadism and terror was being exported to London and Paris. (Terrorism had not reached America-but the signals for a major catastrophe were fermenting.) Americans were taken hostage in Iran, and Ronald Reagan was elected president to restore America’s dignity. The Wreck of the Alamo is a work of historical-fiction that exposes Texas-style Big Oil, Lloyds, The French, The English, The Israelis, The Arabs, and the worldwide Terrorist network.
