Item Description
Enjoy an autographed hardcopy of The New York Best Seller "ARGO: How the CIA and Hollywood Pulled Off the Most Audacious Rescue in History" by author and CIA agent Tony Mendez. Learn the true story of the CIA rescue of six Americans in Tehran during the 1979 hostage crisis. Also included, is Ben Affleck's film, "Argo" the movie on DVD.
"Argo" chronicles the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis-the truth of which was unknown by the public for decades. On November 4, 1979, as the Iranian revolution reached its boiling point, militants stormed the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage. But, in the midst of the chaos, six Americans managed to slip away and find refuge in the home of the Canadian ambassador. Knowing it was only a matter of time before the six were found out and likely killed, a CIA "exfiltration" specialist named Tony Mendez came up with a risky plan to get them safely out of the country.
Item Special Note
Ben Affleck's movie, 'Argo" won Best Picture at the 85th Academy Awards in 2013. It also won a 2013 Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture-Drama.
