Argo:How the CIA and Hollywood Pulled Off the Most Audacious Rescue in History
1979, Iranian militants storm the American Embassy in Tehran holding the inhabitants hostage. Six escape and take refuge in the Canadian Embassy. Now the CIA must devise a plot to rescue them. If you've seen the film you will know the outcome but this firsthand account, told by the operative who devised the scheme and flew out to Tehran to escort them home, fills in the gaps. This is his nail-biting account of what happened step-by-step.
