Full Description

Ever since the first Indian Jones film hit the silver screen in 1984, there has been speculation as to whether the fictional character was inspired by real-life. Indiana MacCreagh is the stand-out candidate. An intrepid explorer, adventurer and big-game hunter, he was also a prolific author whose writings entertained millions around the world.

MacCreagh spoke several languages and was an entomologist, anthropologist, pilot, musician and photographer. He travelled extensively overseas, including South America, India, Burma, Tibet and Africa and led expeditions to the Amazon and Ethiopia in search of the Ark of the Covenant. He also served in both World Wars.

MacCreagh enjoyed a remarkable life but the details are something of a mystery and full of enigmas. This book reveals the truth behind the legend and explores whether MacCreagh was the inspiration for the Indiana Jones stories. It is a biography, a tale of adventure and something of a detective story. Based on detailed research, the author challenges the accepted version of MacCreagh's life and provides a fascinating insight into the man and his achievements.
