Ben Macintyre

The year is 1981. Tehran is in violent turmoil in the wake of the Iranian Revolution. The Soviets are planning to overthrow the Ayatollah’s fledgling Islamist regime and – unknown to the public – the Americans are contemplating a nuclear response. Master storyteller, multimillion-copy bestselling author and The Times columnist Ben Macintyre tells the story of how at the height of the Cold War, one mysterious double agent, known to MI6 as ‘Redwood’, revealed the Kremlin’s secret plot and prevented Armageddon. A gripping true story of espionage, deception and high-stakes intrigue at the height of the Cold War.
