IMAGINE A business that combines the communications aspects of letter mail, e-mail, faxes, and the telephone; the transportation of heavier goods by parcel post and express mail, such private carriers as United Parcel Service and Federal Express, and an armored car service; and the plethora of financial arrangements supplied by modern intrastate, interstate, and international full-service banks.

Forced to resign after being wrongly scapegoated for a tragic midair disaster, former Navy TOPGUN instructor Luke Henry has opened a private aerial combat training school in the Nevada desert -- with the aid of a cadre former aces and full support of the government. But the Defense Department's contract comes with strings attached: Luke must train a handpicked group of pilots from the Pakistani Air Force in Russian MiG-29s that the U.S. has supplied. These suspicious foreign nationals are being placed at the controls of one of the world's most potent aerial weapons, and it's Luke job to make them proficient. But the strangers may have a secret agenda that strikes directly at the vulnerable heart of their American benefactors, a nightmarish scenario of devastating terror that Luke Henry must expose and combat -- in the skies above his nation, if necessary.

"Sweeping in scope, as revealing of an era as it is of a company, Stagecoach is the story of Wells Fargo and the American West, by Philip L. Fradkin.". "The trail of Wells Fargo runs through nearly every imaginable landscape and icon of frontier folklore: the California Gold Rush, the Pony Express, the transcontinental railroad, the Civil and Indian Wars. From the Great Plains to the Rockies to the Pacific Ocean, the company's operations embraced almost all social, cultural, and economic activities west of the Mississippi, following one of the greatest migrations in American history.". "Stagecoach is a combination of Western and business history. Along with its colorful association with the frontier - Wyatt Earp, Black Bart, Buffalo Bill - readers will discover that swiftness, security, and connectivity have been constants in Wells Fargo's history, and that these themes remain just as important today, 150 years later."--BOOK JACKET.
