About this product

Product Information

The Mongoose and the Eagle's Claw is an account of a solo journey made in 1980 by motorcycle from India to England, including a side-trip visit to the battlefields of Gallipoli. The story reveals the strange incidents, doubts and fears that grew as the journey deteriorated sometimes into farce and sometimes danger. It tells how Michael was unwittingly caught up in the fallout from 'Operation Eagle Claw', the failed attempt to rescue the American embassy hostages held in Teheran, and how this gung-ho raid caused sleepless nights and frantic days as he raced across Iran on an Indian Enfield motorcycle, trying unsuccessfully to avoid police and demonstrating mobs. The Mongoose and the Eagle's Claw is an inspiring and intriguing journey where readers will also discover ancient sites along the route travelled and historical figures that once also travelled that way in earlier times.

This seller gave excellent communication & a full refund when the book I ordered was found to be damaged at the warehouse. They sent a very apologetic email explaining the issue & refunded me straight away. I have used this seller before & they have always been reliable & prompt with delivery. The items have also been in even better condition than described for an amazingly reasonable price. This was not their fault, so I would definitely buy from this seller again & recommend them to others.
