"In Mission Iran, Jim Stejskal weaves a factual telling of events with a colorful account of the unique and powerful chemistry of Special Forces when given its head and allowed to practice unconventional warfare (UW) as only America’s Green Berets can."
Toby Harnden
"A riveting, authoritative and fast-paced account that is brimful of new information and will give readers fresh understanding of a seminal moment in American military history."
Doug Stanton
"James Stejskal’s latest book Mission Iran is a must-have for any military library of the Cold War and special operators. Stejskal’s one-of-a-kind experience in the secretive Detachment “A,” and his unprecedented access, reveals new and previously classified information on what really happened during one of the U.S.’s most pivotal missions."
Ric Prado
The topic of this history is very dear to me and my comrades and family. James has captured, in vivid detail, the history of this critical geopolitical event. James not only documents the story, he transports the reader into the action, the political complexities and the heartache felt by all of those involved. Truly a great read of a history that cannot be forgotten.
Wade Ishimoto
James Stejskal, a former Detachment A member, has written a marvelous description of a critical organization that has largely been unrecognized for its key role in Operation Eagle Claw. Superbly done!
