This review is from: Tehran Mission (Paperback)

Tehran Mission is an alternate history novel based on the failed 1980 Iran Hostage mission.

The facts:

The 1980 attempt to rescue the Iran embassy hostages failed due to circumstances beyond the control of the brave men of Operation Eagle Claw. But considering the meticulous planning and the competence of Delta Force and its supporting elements, it should have!

In this alternate history novel it does!

Captain "Bull" St. Stephen and his Special Forces A-team are infiltrated into Tehran to serve as an in-country intelligence asset. In a series of perilous incidents, they discover that militant students and mujahedin are planning another assault on the embassy and to take its occupants hostage. Their intent is an exchange for the deposed Shah who has sought refuge in the U.S. Alerted to that possibility, the Joint Chiefs of Staff order Delta and a joint task force - JTF7- to prepare for Operation Scimitar: a coordinated mission to rescue the hostages should that come about.

A suspenseful tale of covert operations, deception and peril, the story rivets the reader's attention in a fast moving novel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tehran Mission, February 8, 2009

By 

Asst. G-3 XVIII ABN Corps - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tehran Mission (Paperback)

R.R. Wright and I served together in Fort Bragg in the days of yore. I believe his writing has the ring of authenticity that can only be gained by flinging one's self out of airplanes loaded with combat gear and knowing what it is like to be shot at. This kind of experience has given Wright's material the rhythm and drive of authentic dialogue and structure. His understanding of the minutia of mission planning makes this novel a real "how to" book for the unschooled reader. The elegance of this novel is its ability to grab the reader and take him on an exciting and dangerous mission from the safety of his armchair.
