Beneath this crisis another story was known by only a few: six Americans escaped the embassy and hid within the city. Antonio Mendez, a top CIA officer, devised an ingenious yet risky plan to rescue them. Disguising himself as a Hollywood producer, and supported by a cast of CIA operatives, foreign agents and special-effects artists, Mendez travelled to Tehran under the guise of scouting locations for a fake science-fiction film called Argo. After three decades, Antonio Mendez finally details this complex and dangerous operation. A riveting story of secret identities and international intrigue, Argo is a pulsating account of the collusion between Hollywood and high-stakes espionage.
