Tehran is in violent turmoil in the wake of the Iranian Revolution. The Soviets are planning to overthrow the Ayatollah's fledgling Islamist regime.

Then, facing exposure, he demanded that the British smuggle him out of Iran in a high-stakes escape plan.This is the gripping tale of one man's courage; about friendship, marriage, betrayal and sexual dysfunction; and about how decisions made in secret can have huge, long-term ramifications.Drawing on never-before-seen material from multiple countries, and interviews with officers from MI6 and MI5, the KGB and CIA, Redwood lifts the lid on how espionage really works, and on an unknown and major Cold War victory.
