About This Item
First Edition/Later Printing; A Near Fine book in a Very Good dust jacket. SIGNED by Ross Perot to the half title page. A handsome copy of this "non-fiction novel", as Follett called it; it is the story of Ross Perot rescuing two of his Electronic Data Systems employees from Iran, jailed during the build up to the Iranian hostage crisis in 1978; Perot asked Follett to write the story of the rescue. This copy is a 5th printing in near fine condition probably having been read once or twice with only some light rubbing to the edges; housed in a very good dust jacket that shows some rubbing to the edges and a couple of small closed tears, most significantly to the top of the front flap fold. Not remaindered, not price clipped, not ex-library; in a protective Mylar cover and will ship in a sturdy box.
Synopsis
On Wings of Eagles is a 1983 thriller novel written by British author Ken Follett. Set against the background of the Iranian revolution, it tells the story of the rescue of Paul Chiapparone and Bill Gaylord from prison in Tehran by a team of Electronic Data Systems executives led by retired Col. Arthur D. Simons. The story, according to Follett, is not fictionalized or a 'non-fiction novel'.
