Beware the Revolutionary Guards is fiction in that none of the characters in it existed as such and the dialogue is make believe, but the story is inspired by actual events which occurred when a group of Israeli civilian contractors unexpectedly found themselves caught up in the middle of the Iranian revolution. Faced with a truly desperate situation, the contractors regarded their chances of escaping with their lives as negligible and resolved to arm themselves, regard themselves as having been called up as Israeli Reservists, and fight if their desperate attempts at bluff failed. The result is a short but powerful thriller, full of danger, as the Israelis metamorphose from fugitives to an aggressive fighting force.
