Argo - How Cia Hollywood Pulled Off Most Audacious Rescue in History

Informationen zum Autor Antonio Mendez (Author) Antonio Mendez was cited by Richard Clarke as one of the top two or three CIA agents in history. He received the CIA's Intelligence Medal of Merit, the Trailblazer Medallion and the Intelligence Star - for his rescue of six Americans from revolutionary Iran. He and his wife, also a famed agent, were technical consultants on the television series 'The Agency' and founding board members of the International Spy Museum in Washington. Klappentext The CIA memoir that inspired the forthcoming Ben Affleck film - a true spy adventure with a twist of 1970s Hollywood Zusammenfassung Militant students stormed the American embassy and held sixty Americans captive for a gruelling 444 days. But until now the CIA has never revealed the twist to the Iran Hostage Crisis: six Americans escaped. Mendez came up with an idea so daring and potentially foolish that it seemed destined for Hollywood ...and indeed it was.
